Did I say they did?What I said it was OFOM's remit and they don't really have the tools to prevent it but that despite that they are achieving something to prevent Sky or anyone else having a monopoly.They are also doing their best at protecting the consumer with again limited tools.

The actual monopoly that Sky has achieved is by being first into the market of providing DTV and they maintain it by having made the larger financial gain..Which is bound to be eroded eventually.All I'm concerned is that Murdoch's empire gets no larger especially in relationship to NEWS provision.That's where I really don't want anyone to have a monopoly.
