For now it is a question of corridor chatter, as Milano Finanza tells us. But the opening to external capital made by the British would find in Jeff Bezos’ company the ideal technological partner to make football in streaming make the leap in quality
Mentre Jeff Bezos si barcamena (male) between sub-orbital flights and the drama of employees who died as a result of the tornado which hit the United States, second Milan Finance figuratively, he would have on his table in Seattle a project for acquire or at least enter as a protagonist in Dazn. And to continue in this way the climb to European football in a more convinced way. Why one or two Champions League matches can only be a starter, but the technological ability to face them without image blocks or stammering by the first absolute brand in terms of cloud computing power – and therefore of distribution in high quality streaming – have made us understand where the streaming football could go.

Who already had a clear vision of the future had been, last April, James Rushton, currently second-in-command CEO of Dazn and on board the English platform since its inception. The man who puts his face into it when things are not going well from a technological point of view. The idea that the company has in hand is the content that interests everyone, European football, but it lacks the firepower necessary to exploit it to the full. Hence the firm statement: Under the right conditions in the coming years we could look at the public or private capital market. Perhaps the idea of a stock market listing or (or even) the opening to strategic investments. Like that of Amazon.

The Bezos multinational certainly does not have liquidity problems and as mentioned, the ideal technological partner to develop a still young business – unlike, for example, what happens in the United States with NBA basketball or NFL football – such as football streaming via app. To give an idea, Netflix streaming relies on Amazon Web Services, to which the platform allocates something like $ 19 million in rent per month. With a move like this Amazon could acquire the much-desired sports rights sooner: the Italian Serie A in the hands of Dazn until 2024, as well as until 2025 the English platform holds those of the Bundesliga in Germany. The game continues.
