No it's not. it's stopping anyone else offering a service that they can't deliver.

The position in movies is more complex, since there are a variety of ways consumers can purchase movies content, and the importance of linear channels is starting to reduce. Looking forward, we expect video-on-demand to become increasingly important. However Sky controls not only all the major linear channel movie rights, but also all of the rights that would be required to develop a subscription video-on-demand service for first-run Hollywood movies.

The Competition Commision is looking in to this area. If they were offering the movies to their own customers, then that would be ok, but they don't.

Is the VM network open to other companies like BT's ? Some would say that's anti competitive.

But VM are offering a service on their network, not keeping it closed and not using it, so that's not relevant to this.
Sky are brilliant in what they do and give to their customers, but some of their practices are very questionable.
