Teeth?

What teeth?

Picnic shouldn't be allowed on Freeview.

Besides, there's plenty of time for Sky to appeal about (and delay) the wholesale issue, and Ofcom's powers would be greatly reduced anyway if the Tories win the General Election.

How long before we see a cut in prices?
A 20% cut would result in VM paying Sky £10.78 for Sky Sports 1 (excluding VAT).

OFCOM were thinking about a wholesale price of somewhere between £9.41 and £11.24, so £10.78 seems a little high.
