The reverse of DAZN on dual users continues to cause discussion and LeU relaunches: “Let’s broadcast the Serie A matches to Rai”
Serie A live on Rai? It would be a sensational turning point, but certainly suggestive. On the one hand, a return to the past, when state TV had the exclusivity of the most loved game in the world, but also a strong innovation, given that Mamma Rai had never broadcast the games live. Indeed, in the 80s, when Serie A was the most beautiful championship in the world, with protagonists such as Maradona, Platini, Falcao e Zico, we had to be satisfied with only one half of the match-highlight of the week and, moreover, deferred, already knowing the result!
Pastorino: “The public service broadcasts at least part of the matches”
It is Luca Pastorino, deputy of Free and Equal, which he presented a parliamentary question on the DAZN affair: “I had already moved in August, when the service was very poor in the first league match. Now there has been this reversal on dual users and thank goodness, because it would have been not very serious and inappropriate ”, he told Radio Cusano Campus. “Here we are dealing with a substantially exclusive service, so a change of conditions of this type after 3 months would have been at least inappropriate. There is a rule that says certain things, but that rule in certain cases must be applied differently, as in this case where there is an exclusivity. The problem should be tackled by at least partially entrusting the broadcasting of matches to the public service. I believe there can be a regulatory intervention in this sense, we must fight this battle. After I raised the issue, others in Parliament also moved. It is a topic of interest and on which to think. We need to find an edge in the government and in my opinion it can be done. The theme of the public reserve of matches can be the beginning to break the private monopoly of football TV rights. You can try to create a public protection mechanism for a service that is public and very popular ”.
DAZN and dual users: the exultation of consumers
On the reverse of DAZN with regard to dual users, the U.Di.Con also rejoices: “Dazn has announced that no change will be introduced regarding the double user for season tickets in the current season – writes the National President in a note Denis Know – we immediately exposed ourselves as soon as the rumors about the cancellation of the concurrency. Today we are satisfied with this retrofront – momentary I would add – which will not change the contractual conditions subscribed to by the subscribers. We totally agree with the company when it hopes for a serious and concrete reflection on the subject of contractual abuses and piracy, but it must not be consumers who sign up for a contract by paying for a subscription. Solutions must be found and we await the meeting that will take place with the Minister of Economic Development next Tuesday. What is certain is that it would be appreciated that the consumer associations who are the first to receive reports on disservices from users “.
