That is roughly my train of thought.
Let's be clear though, setting the price too high and withholding them are two completely different situations.
I can see no evidence whatsoever that Sky are actually withholding any of their basic channels and I base this on VM's own press release. If they don't fit in with VM's 'free HD' pricing structure then that again is a different matter altogether.
Maybe it's time for OFCOM to look at the pricing of the basic channels, maybe it's time for VM to reconsider their pricing structure. Maybe the deal is for the existing channels only.
I simply don't know.
