Italy to set quality requirements for streaming services after DAZN problems: Sources

ROME: Italy is preparing new rules aimed at preventing malfunctions in video streaming services following complaints of disruption during live matches of its top soccer league Serie A, two sources close to the matter told Reuters.

Owned by billionaire Len Blavatnik, streaming app DAZN secured the rights in March to screen Serie A matches live for three seasons with a 2.5 billion euro ($2.89 billion) bid, under a technical and distribution partnership with Italy’s biggest phone group Telecom Italia.
