Ofcom scraps rule forcing Sky to offer sports channels to rivals at a discount

I wonder if this means they will start charging more to VM to carry the Sport channels. They've got to get the money somehow to pay for the Premier League rights.

You'd hope that the 3 and a half years (or more) that are left to run on the current channel contract will stop any major changes to how Sky pricing changes.
