That is the view i had everything hinges on the pay tv review,which if my memory serves me correctly has been rumbling on one way or another for 2 years!! By the time ofcom report we could all be picking our pensions up,and i have 17 years until mine is due!!!.

Why it is taking them so long, goodness knows,when the office of fair trading i think put the sports/movies on the ratecard, it was done reasonably swiftly,ofcom seem to move like snails could all be down to politics ie not upsetting one important large shareholder before an election,oops cynical me.
