None of them would want to, but BT (as the principal supplier of the last mile / phone services) have to point out that other BB service providers are available when they advertise, why should sky (as the principle supplier of pay tv services) not have to point out other pay tv services are available? This is the sort of thing that OFCOM should be doing. Maybe OFCOM should set up a pay tv helpline that customers could call to see what options ther are in their area, Sky, NTL/TW, Homechoice, could do the same for BB etc. Now that would be a way of educating the consumer in their choices.
