Also please look at VM's pricing structure. 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.

You are joking aren't you.
We have only got those now as part of the deal where VM sold their channels to Sky. No sooner was the ink dry on that agreement and Sky started up another channel announcing it was to keep the content gap between them and other platforms. I really don't know what Sky would have to do before you would say that there way where using their dominant position against our interests.
