It would get Comcast's foot much more into the European market, which could actually impact Foreign Satellite markets for the long-term (but who do I know). Hell, I think a potentially great outcome could be if they could try to get some of the assets of Fox Sports, as Disney I thought is being forced to Divest.
I get that Sky is important, but I really doubt the world's gonna care about it as much as Fox, which makes much bigger headlines and attention than the former. I also don't see Disney wanting to give up fully on Sky either, since they value the asset as treasurable as the Fox assets. Either way, if they gain Fox, they gain 39% of Sky, which means they have a bargaining chip with Comcast for any number of things, like Hulu for example. So either Comcast is gonna acquire Sky 100% (which I really doubt they will due to their debt situation) or they will lose bigtime if all they done is acquire a stake on the asset. If they did the latter, then Disney wins, 100% for Fox, and certain stakes for Sky. That would be a really black mark on the history of Comcast and ISP in general.
I think you're being a little dramatic.
Well, the idea of the ISP like Comcast losing out big like Fox to the entertainment company like Disney in favor of something important, but smaller like Sky (the best thing they would have done is acquire a stake in Sky, which is very pitiful and very small) would be a blow to their history, and entertainment and media history, so yes I considered that a huge deal. Comcast really needs to make it full-time or just go with the smaller things like having stakes in Sky.
