And why do you think Sky have been so vocal in trying to get Ofcom abolished or severely cut back? Because they want to provide their own programme information? Or because Ofcom has been known to actively intervene in Sky's attempts to use their effectively infinite resources to cripple their competition.
Remember, Sky is owned by (and has access to the resources of) the largest media corporation on the planet, and one of the largest corporations of any description. Remove OFCOM, and all you achieve is to pass control of the UK media to a private corporation that is only accountable to it's owner, and shareholders, the bulk of whome probably have little or no interest in this country or it's population.
