Well i think broadbandings,you are coming from the wrong angle ofcom are charged with looking after the consumer where the consumer has very little power thmeselves,as such i am on the VM platform as sky bodged up an intallation and then made four other appointments that proved equally fruitless.

Why should i be denied HD just because i cannot have sky? or the red button interactive? it is not my fault i cannot get sky. As a consumer i look to ofcom to remedy this situation, and as such i do not see this as meddling like you do but actions designed to help people like myself is that wrong.

I think in the end if no remedy is found european regulators will eventually get involved to help consumers,most commercial organisations work under some form of regulation be it supermarkets or other concerns where it is detrimental to consumers not to regulate,why should pay tv companies be any different

And by the way new Labour are far from being "socialist" if they were i may still be a member,nu-labour =pinko tories.
