I think has to be an important qualifier when terrestrial TV would be forced to show it.

I seem to remember when England played Italy in the final game of the France 98 qualifiers there was outrage it was only available on Sky. If I remember correctly they sorted it out by having Sky show it live and ITV showing it on a 15 minute delay.
