This model is quite similar to what Multichoice (Africa's main pay TV
service provider) have done with their streaming service, ShowMax.
Basically, if you are an existing customer of their linear service, then
you get ShowMax for free, ad free.

I see that Peacock is going the same route for their existing
NBCUniversal, Comcast and Sky linear customers, which makes plenty of
sense to me.
