If things get broken up, and 2 or 3 different movie subscription channels are set up then I ain't going to be too happy.

When any media outlet prompts an investigation under the guise of getting a better deal for their own customers I doubt it always is, I think it's often just to further their own agenda. It's naive to think otherwise in my opinion. If we do benefit then all well and good but we didn't with Premier League football and I doubt we will with movies.
I remember all too well when some bright spark in the late 80's/early 90's decided ITV should be opened up and insisted viewers would all benefit and we ended up losing a wonderful broadcaster like Thames Television and 'benefitted' from the genius that was Carlton Television.
Be careful what you wish for.
