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.

You really don't get it do you ?
Sky make excess profits and use them to buy rights to movies and VOD for the UK pricing everyone else out of the market unless they have many millions spare to keep going till they get enough subs to cover costs.
Sky have had the VOD rights included right from the launch of their movie channels locking everyone else out.
Its only now that real mega companies look at VOD themselves that they are under threat and IMHO they only have films included in their VOD for no charge is to try to say they are using the content and still block all others getting it.
