SACA launches under TechNet: a US$14.2bn sports streaming market, and the clash between rising investment and viewing access
Netflix, Amazon and YouTube have set up a joint policy body in Washington. As the migration of sports rights to streaming raises questions about what fans pay and how easily they can watch, the largest platforms have begun to speak with one voice in the regulatory debate.
The three launched the Streaming Access and Choice Alliance (SACA) on 14 September. TechNet, a technology trade group, runs it, and Mike Ward, senior vice-president of federal policy and government relations, leads it. The alliance says it will support content investment and consumer choice through policies that do not favour any particular delivery technology.
