This answer is a correction from the original answer.
HM Government is undertaking a review to look at whether, in the face of technological change, the objectives of the existing regime are still being met and whether digital rights should now be included in the regime.
In considering this issue, it is important that we maintain the right balance between access for audiences and the commercial freedoms which allow rights-holders to reinvest in their sport at all levels. We will publish further details in due course.
