I thought this thread was about Sky Movies (excess profits), seems to be an awful lot about consistency of regulation....

What I found interesting in the original article was the inference that Sky are effectively withholding VOD rights at wholesale prices to first-run movies, even though technically they could make them available. If this is true, its clearly stifling innovation in this space and the reason why have no Netflix/VUDU type service.

Hopefully, Ofcom will sort this out so a *friend* doesn't have to have a VPN/Entropay card ....
