In January, despite a 15 per cent per cent increase in the viewing share of Virgin Media TV's channels over the last three years in Sky homes, Sky forced Virgin Media to accept an 85 per cent reduction in the price it pays for the channels

I presume you mean unfair as in unlawful? If so, how is this unlawful?
Notwithstanding the fact that none of us are privvy to the terms of any contract between VM and BSkyB, I don't see how one company bargaining with another is unlawful. It may be unfair, as in unjust, for VM considering the price paid in relation to the value of the product, but I don't see why you consider it unlawful.
I'm not trying to be funny here... I'm a neutral by-stander as I am a customer of both companies. I have no interest in either of them "losing out" as I will stand to lose on both counts. They're both going to recoup any incurred losses from their customers, so it'll be a double-whammy for me.
