  • How Does Online Streaming Affect Antitrust Remedies to Centralized Marketing? the Case of European Football Broadcasting Rights
    Ilmenau University of Technology Institute of Economics ________________________________________________________ Ilmenau Economics Discussion Papers, Vol. 25, No. 128 How Does Online Streaming Affect Antitrust Rem- edies to Centralized Marketing? The Case of Euro- pean Football Broadcasting Rights Oliver Budzinski, Sophia Gaenssle & Philipp Kunz- Kaltenhäuser July 2019 Institute of Economics Ehrenbergstraße 29 Ernst-Abbe-Zentrum D-98 684 Ilmenau Phone 03677/69-4030/-4032 Fax 03677/69-4203 https://www.tu-ilmenau.de/wm/fakultaet/ ISSN 0949-3859 How Does Online Streaming Affect Antitrust Remedies to Centralized Marketing? The Case of European Football Broadcasting Rights Oliver Budzinski, Sophia Gaenssle & Philipp Kunz-Kaltenhäuser* Abstract: The collective sale of football broadcasting rights constitutes a cartel, which, in the European Union, is only allowed if it complies with a number of con- ditions and obligations, inter alia, partial unbundling and the no-single-buyer rule. These regulations were defined with traditional TV-markets in mind. However, the landscape of audiovisual broadcasting is quickly changing with online streaming services gaining popularity and relevance. This also alters the effects of the condi- tions and obligations for the centralized marketing arrangements. Partial unbun- dling may lead to increasing instead of decreasing prices for consumers. Moreover, the combination of partial unbundling and the no-single-buyer rule forces consum- ers into multiple subscriptions to several streaming services, which increases trans- action costs. Consequently, competition authorities need to rethink the conditions and obligations they impose on centralized marketing arrangements in football. We recommend restricting the exclusivity of (live-)broadcasting rights and mandate third-party access to program guide information to redesign the remedies.
