You really think that Sky won't try to use/abuse its dominant position as movie/TV content rights holders to prevent others getting in on the action?



See above re: dominant position ...
Anytime+ is available for people to use should they take up the service. It is not uncommon for companies to bundle their products. It is up to Sky how they deliver the product. If they wish to bundle it they are within their rights just as much as BT is to bundle its tv within its own products.

How can Sky abuse their position exactly? Its an open market. No content provider cares if they sell to Sky or someone else as long as they get the best return. Like has already been mentioned, there is potential for organisations to compete with Sky.
