It is not compatible with Sky's pricing structure. There can never possibly be competition wholly on a platform basis until VM drop its free HD to XL customers for basic channels. This will lead to either price increases for VM customers or loss of channels that are HD. The reality is that consumers are probably in the best place right now or possibly close to it.
And like I said before, VM sold its channels to Sky because it wanted to. No regulator is seriously going to look into basic packages knowing that the two main pay tv providers are happy with the market place and are offering competitive packages.

This would never have happened without the sale of VMtv.
