there is more to it though
- firstly the issue that SKY is a platform supplier as well as a channel provider therefore a conflict of interest - they can over price their channels in order to gain exclusive broadcasting.
- secondly (as you mentioned) SKY having an open platform where channels can broadcast as pay to view independently of the SKY packages whereas VM are a closed platform - therefore a non level playing field.
