New rules to allow TV and digital services to travel with you in EU

Plans to let you use your Netflix, Sky or TV subscription when travelling abroad to watch your favourite programmes have been unveiled by the European Commission.

However, it will not create the digital single market many consumers hoped for because there are no proposals to let you shop around the EU for the cheapest subscriptions.

The proposals met with differing reactions. Sky and Netflix welcomed them but said they were studying the details, while independent film producers fear they will be squeezed out.
