If the BBC and ITV can offer it (not to mention a very large amount of YouTube content makers), I can't really see why the major players like Netflix, Amazon (outside of sport), Disney, Paramount etc. can't.

50fps uses more bandwidth than 25fps.
But if we're going to expect streaming to replace linear (and physical media for that matter) as we keep being told, 50/60fps really does have to be a must or you're offering an inferior experience on a lot of content. Was very frustrating that as the pre-1998 episodes of The Bill were only on UKTV play, we only got them at 25p.
