Something I thought we would all be against. I suspect that what you are proposing would weeken a Sky competitor and move us closer to a total Sky monopoly though which isn't in our interests. But perhaps the competition comission shouls investigate. Until it does it's a red herring.

I've no interest in weakening a competitor to Sky and have little interest in this decision as it stands, my irritation is in how one-sided the ongoing regulatory work in this space is. It's all about opening up Sky and BT's content and networks with no concessions being asked for or given by the company that supplies half of all pay TV and broadband services to half of the country.
It's the inconsistency which is the irritation.
Other than that I'm fine with Sky being pulled up for overcharging, don't misunderstand me, Sky are at heart a brutal, soul-less money-making machine, same as pretty much every other company of any size
EDIT: With this in mind I've asked my MP about the situation although this whole thing is a bit of a sore point with him I suspect
