Dr. Una May:

The concept of putting things behind a paywall is a matter for sports. Some larger sports can justify that. We have provided funding for a number of sports to develop streaming opportunities for activities which would otherwise not be available in any form to the public, other than to those present on the day. We encourage, promote and support the concept of online streaming as a means of diversifying opportunities to access what is available. Putting things behind paywalls is generally a commercial decision for each national governing body. They are entitled to make those commercial decisions. They have a wide and broad remit.
