Sky chief executive John Fellet acknowledged the changes were "bad news".

But he said no other major internet television service, including Netflix, offered daily or weekly viewing options.

"Netflix doesn't allow you to come in on a Saturday, binge view House of Cards and then disconnect."

It's pretty hard to binge watch 12 weeks of live sport in one day, John. Completely different. 

Netflix gives you the first month free and you can disconnect whenever you want, so you actually can do exactly what he says you can't do. For free even.

And cost of cheapest Netflix option per month:$11.49, and you can cancel whenever

Cost of cheapest FanPass option per month: $54.99, and you're locked in for 6 months

Probably not the best comparison to justify your price hike
