Not to carry on this too long but with mucho respect Ben that doesn't make any sense.

If Sky and VM decided to allow Sky Sports HD on cable then Ofcom becomes defunct as they are doing what Ofcom asked them to do AND MORE...so there's no need for a "seperate agreement" legally or otherwise, no?

Plus VM now have the option to carry Sky Movies HD which Ofcom decided wasn't in their remit (or needed further investigation) so it's not as if Sky have to operate ONLY within Ofcoms remit/decision.
