Do I have to pay for premium on each platform?

I've been trying to find the same type of "premium" or a reasonable answer. However, here's what I found. There is no cross-platform premium (yet). They (Microsoft) do keep track of your records with the Live accounts regardless of the platform. However,
you have to purchase a different premium for each platform, i.e. Windows, iOS, and Android. (Hope I didn't leave out anything else). First, I thought it wasn't Microsoft to blame. Google (Android) and Apple (iOS) don't want the following situation: people
pay for the premium on some other platform and play the game on their platform but they don't get a cut.

But, then, if you take a look at the New York Times Crossword subscription, which is in a very similar situation but somehow manages to offer cross-platform premium.

I hope MS somehow pull it through and offer the cross-platform premium.

Premium is £40. You'll pay around £15 for each expansion individually (x5 = £75) plus you won't have access to Premium exclusive content and XP events.

Your call.

Oh, I found your answer in the FAQs. You can share the account across multiple platforms but the Premium part is only on one.

Can I use one account for multiple platforms?

You can link one account per platform to your Call of Duty ELITE account. However, similar to DLC today, your Call of Duty ELITE Premium membership is platform-specific. If you play on multiple platforms and want all the premium features and content you
will need to purchase Call of Duty ELITE for each.

To point out something, Skype is free on other platforms but.... If you wish to do Group Skype video calls that is now in a payed premium model of Skype. Now I believe the X1 Skype allows you to Skype Group vid calls as long as you have gold, which is also
for multiplayer and other things. So as I don't have Skype premium normally if I need to do this ill use the X1 and take advantage of that being included in my Multiplayer subscription.

Sorry to say but when you purchase premium on a platform it only works on devices in the same platform.

For example, as you purchased the premium subscription on Windows you are not going to see ads on Windows

For each platform you need to get the premium subscription
