As part of the deal, NBCUniversal will stream “a selection of live sporting events” on YouTube, and it’s also extending its distribution agreement with YouTube TV.

Netflix would be smart to try to combine as many services as possible into one platform. That's the big drawback to legal streaming is the numerous apps.

Netflix really doesn't get a say in it. If they had a choice they would. But for Networks, it's always been their playground. Like Netflix/Sling/ect were used to bludgeon cable companies ten years ago in the states, now that they're on the decline the networked launched their own subscription services and started PVP in the market, lol.

Very true, I'm sure they'd all like to be the go to platform to house everyone, for consumers it'd be great though.
