MMM not really sure what you mean
Sky are in a different league ?
NTL and Sky both provide digital platforms - sky are also a broadcaster/ programme maker. Sky try to take advantage of the latter to support their business as the former.
Their driver to do this is to get more revenue through PPV/ red dot rip offs.
IMHO HMG should require the splitting of Sky into 2 business's
The platform provider providing space for channels and an EPG and collecting the cash (same as NTL)
And a programme maker / broadcaster - sky sports etc. The driver for this business would be to get its pictures on all platforms to make revenue by selling subs.
It is nonsense to say sky ntl are in different leagues - they are playing different games.
