Are English premier league football fans in Indonesia aware that Bein Sports no longer has the rights to show the English Premier League in this country? Exclusive rights are with a small, mainly online company called Mola TV, which for many matches requires the purchase and installation of a satellite system called Matrix Polytron, only available at Electronic City (Jakarta) or online. Given that this was announced in the media only ten days ago, it looks like there will be virtually no one able to watch the Man City vs. West Ham match tonight, as it will not be streamed live by Mola TV and is only available on the aforementioned satellite system. What an own goal...Illegal streaming will soar and I sincerely hope that the EPL got paid by Mola TV in advance for the rights, since I can't imagine that many people shelling out for a new satellite system in addition to the subscription fee, and then disconnecting their Indovision coax cable to use with a one off channel. What a farce in the world's fourth largest market - there must have been a hell of large bung paid somewhere in all this...
