Hopefully what will happen is that ofcom will force through the changes in April. Sky will appeal but the rules apparently say that the price cut will stay until the appeal is settled. At that point there may be a change of government but they would be rather foolish to interfere with an ongoing court case. If sky's position wins out then he can happily reverse the ofcom decision but if the court come out against sky then it would be difficult to see what he could do to change it.
The next stage however will be that sky will try to corner the market in 3D sports TV and so exactly the same with that as they have done with HD sport except this time there will not be a powerful enough regulator to force them to share it. I know 3D is very niche at the moment, but then so was HD tv when it first came out.
