Over the years, buying and selling by companies NEVER, NEVER EVER benefits the customer, only the shareholders and managers. And with incomes continuing to shrink (apart from the managers and the shareholders of course) it might mean that more and more people are going to find it much harder to meet their ever increasing bills.

In any case, I thought that with Sky buying these channels from VM is supposed to be anti-competitive.
I would have thought if sky continue to buy everything up and being more of a monopoly then they already are, surely the EU would get involved eventually,does anybody know what it would take for the EU to look into anti competitive behaviour .?

Of course ever increasing bills could be remedied by cancelling services and going to freeview,though how much of that will be left if sky gets their mits on a pay DTT service.

Although i would still keep vm broadband.

It looks like everyone has stopped trying to compete with cash rich sky and hoisted the white flag, and just want to sell to them,and without proper regulation so it will continue.
