Do you think it would be a good thing for instance if we could only buy dvd's from HMV? I know that isn't an exact comparison but as near as I can get. Would that situation be tolerated. Don't you think that HMV would put their prices up and start ripping everyone off? Just like Sky are doing.
I think we customers should be looking for answers not just accepting the status quo which clearly isn't working in our interests.

Have you seen the composition of Ofcom and compared it along its history to people who've worked in cable companies?
If Sky are ripping people off and they feel they're being ripped off no-one's forcing them to pay for Sky Movies. If you aren't happy with the price of the product don't pay it. If others feel Sky are profiteering excessively there's nothing stopping them from paying for content just as Sky do and charging slightly less. if there's so much profit there there should be plenty of scope to undercut. That's how things used to work anyway.
Regardless as I said if regulation is felt necessary so be it, so long as it is applied fairly which imho it isn't. YMMV.
