Personally, even though I benefit from being a SS subcriber through Virgin and will take the SS1 & 2 HD offering as well, I think it was wrong that SKY were made to lower it's wholesale price of it's HD SS 1&2 service. Sky buy the rights to the sporting events by the normal tendering process, and therefore should be allowed to sell at a price that it sees as 'business sense' value to them.
Put it this way, how would anyone like some big organisation telling them how much they have to sell their car for?

Let's put it one way BT were told they had to open up to other companies , Royal Mail were made to open their business up also , both companies had invested millions in there network. So weak argument. Sky don't have problems in using LLU to deliver their broadband something BT were made to allow.
