Does that apply to the BBC and ITV too?
They own Freesat.
And let's be clear here, Sky's platform is far less discriminatory than VM's who have complete and total control over who is broadcast on their network, less the must carry provisions of course.
I am not aqainist or in favour of the argument that a channel provider shouldn't own a platform but it must apply to everyone.
It was VM who wanted rid of VMtv which was a hangover from the Telewest days, the NTL side of the company never really bothered much channel wise.
Sky couldn't have bought it otherwise. Maybe we should be asking what they are going to sepnd the money on.
