Let's just buy up everything we can.
The article makes interesting reading and yes sky though their sheer financial might are hoovering uo on demand content,which it could be argued is bad for consumers,what i fail to understand is and perhaps they could not do it, but why do virgin and BT both of which have on demand services not get together and buy on demand content that they could both show on their respective platforms.

Quite honestly nobody can match skys financial might and ofcom abjectly fail to regulate in a proper fashion on consumers behalf and when they do sky tend to try to run rings around them.

The only way the other companies may be able to compete in this skewed market place would be to try and do deals together.
