Ofcom were able to order Sky to drop their sports price and reported Sky to the competition commission re movies, why not regarding TV content?

Also, who says Sky aren't offering it at a reasonable price? Sky think they are, VM think they aren't - why should we believe one company over the other.

Bottom line is, VM have got a good wad of cash for selling channels (again) surely it is no bad thing to invest in quality content?
