The Guardians Take

They should simply stipulate that where Sky does an exclusivity deal, it must allow other providers access to the channels showing it at a wholesale price. I don't see why the Competition Commission cannot see that this is the best solution.

And if they make it video on demand only, they should enable other providers to also show the film on their VOD, again, at a wholesale price. The same goes with exclusive drama series, etc.
