So they drugged him and made him say it, did they?

Or perhaps it was CGI?

No of course not. OK Cable messed up, but it does not stop them doing something about this now does it?

Mmmm.....

I'm not really smart enough to understand all of the ins and outs in that document. Would a smarty pants, who fully understands the document, like to give us simpletons a dumbed down abbreviated version?

Re: sky movies (excess profits)
 

It is this last bit that is the most interesting bit:

When evaluating the
terms on which Sky wholesales its own existing movie products (SD, HD and SVOD),
we should ask whether these terms restrict the ability of its rivals to compete with Sky
in the pay TV retail market but we also need to consider the ability of Sky’s rivals to
compete more generally and so extend our focus beyond Sky’s existing products to
what products might exist and when and how they might be distributed in the
absence of barriers to the acquisition of movie rights.

As they are going to also look at what products might exist?

Re: sky movies (excess profits)
 

It'll get delayed they always do.

Re: sky movies (excess profits)
 

Not sure that it will as it says they have a statutory deadline.


The statutory deadline for our investigation is 3 August 2012, although we intend to complete
it sooner

Re: sky movies (excess profits)
 

We'll see what happens :D

Re: sky movies (excess profits)
 

Good news for consumers.

Re: sky movies (excess profits)
 

If something actually gets done it is , I reserve judgement until we know the outcome.
