Sensible thinking from UEFA to not stream video, on a couple of points :-

1. Cost of BB distribution of these clips could be crippling. I imagine they are going to build up addiction of this video content using NarrowBand (NB) and then introduce charging with a premium for the BB version
2. I don’t know where most of the UEFA viewers would be, but it’s highly possible that the countires don’t have wide BB access.
