Re: OFCOM ready to rule?

I am in two minds about this.

1 - sky have invested heavily in sports and it is what is their driving force, if they are forced to reduce prices then I expect there will be a significant loss of quality, eg. sky may make cut backs on its sky broadband as their profits get slashed.
2 - on the other hand the main reason sky charge so much is because everytime they renew their deal they pay more for it even when they have next to no competition, its as if they deliberatly want footballers overpaid.

personally they have priced me out so I will gain from this. but I expect sky customers will feel the brunt when this happens as they will cut operational costs all over the place.

All they have to do is move key footy games to SS2, SS3 or SS4, since OFCOM can't tell Sky what to show on its channels:

I remember watching some games on sky 1 and sky sports news when cable had lost those channels
