Well, OFCOM or the OFT (Office of Fair Trading). Virgin Media's accusation basically boils down to saying the Sky are behaving unfairly when it comes to the Sky basic channels (and I guess also the Flextech ones that Virgin sell to Sky).
Either or both the OFT and/or OFCOM may have a role.. my beef is that Virgin Media should have taken this up with one or other rather than using the poor customer as a pawn. If Virgin Media really believe that Sky is pursuing unfair business practices, then the OFT/OFCOM approach should have been the path they took.
