I'm still kinda confused as to how this works. Doesn't every cloud connected or IoT device just die during a football game in Spain?

Yes. And, who cares really? Maybe the users do, but the Spanish government certainly doesn't!

How cheap, I wonder, does a government have to be to sell itself out over ball game broadcasting rights? Could someone like Elon Musk just fly in there and acquire the entire government with some pocket change?

		It's literally the mafia. Not metaphorically - I'm told the actual mafia basically owns football in Spain and Italy, which is why the government doesn't do anything about this stupidity.

		OK - well thanks for explaining that. Maybe this will motivate digital sovereignty at a personal level?
