  • Disney's settlement with FuboTV is raising concerns about how other television distributors will be able to compete in the sports streaming space.

The article discusses the dissatisfaction of DirecTV and EchoStar with a recent settlement between Disney and FuboTV. The settlement resolved a lawsuit where FuboTV accused Disney of anticompetitive practices by forcing FuboTV to carry numerous less popular channels to access high-demand sports content. DirecTV and EchoStar, who are not part of the settlement, are concerned that this agreement might set a precedent that could disadvantage them in future negotiations with content providers like Disney. They argue that such deals could lead to higher costs for consumers and limit their ability to offer competitive, consumer-friendly channel packages. The companies are contemplating their next steps, potentially including legal action, to address what they perceive as an unfair advantage given to FuboTV.
