Most Pay-per-View providers (e.g., Sky) are focusing on sports-related content like live broadcasts of soccer or football games. As nowadays video consumption is largely driven by streaming, many consumers are looking for services that will offer both sports content and the convenience of high-quality streaming, and new services such as DAZN are trying to fill this gap. Thereby, time-limited access to sports content becomes more and more redundant and will potentially lead to a turnaround in the Pay-per-View market.
