Re: OFCOM ready to rule?
The thing with the News Corp thing and Time Warner recently that really got me was, unlike here, there are many cable and satellite companies and you would think that if a broadcaster had the balls to demand a $1 increase per subscriber all the cable co and satellite companies would get together and tell said company to go take a hike and see how long they would survive without channels on air.

Having only two major players here is hindering the competition, having one of those players holding all the cards is stifling competition and hitting consumers in the pocket. Pay TV would be far cheaper if Cable and Satellite were just deliver systems and neither company owned their own stations and if they did want that then there should be strict regulation about withholding content and offering it at a fair price.

Our regulator has been quite for far too long and is probably acting far to late.
