thats the way I see it too but alas we got some thick idiots in the virgin media company who got its head in the sand.
TheDon there tons of examples of big corporates not thinking/doing its homework and missing thing Football League famous stupidity that the ITV Digital was not land locked to parent ITV and contracts shoddily done.
I bet Virgin screwed up bigtime how they can possible trust SKY to play fair is beyond comprehention of incompetance and someone at the top should be looking at his p45 right now.
Heads should roll bigtime. Virgin also playing a dangerous rusian roulette game to hope OFCOM will help to keep SKY in check.
What happens if OFCOM becomes toothless with loss of powers under tories.
Have they not said they gona take away quangos and was there not talk on here awhile back on the investigation there was talk they could loose powers.
We need the powers to block this sale for the good of the platform.
On hoping to get more customers like 5m to make them play kinder sky will make every single oportunity to force people to sky.
Virgin could set up the best platform in the world but not owning content can mean that content get stripped and virgin wont have jot to stop them.
Sky could also provide weak signals poor quality and also like last time hidden feeds. Anger VM customers in hope they ditch cable to Dish with Sky.
They could also tell virgin to stop putting there HD in the XL packages free and force it into extra costs.
Yes we protected but only till 2019 then SKY gloves are off we will receive there knockout blow.
I fully expect VM platform be glorified freeview box after the timeline. With only our basic beeb, itv and american based channels.
All other channels will be removed at some point OFCOM will be powerless to stop it once Murdock buddies strip there power.
