We might get them after the CAT appeal

Summary of appeal
CASE No: 1156/8/3/10
In summary, the principal grounds of appeal on which Virgin Media relies are as follows:
1. OFCOM has failed to consider relevant matters in deciding to exclude Sky Sports 3 and/or 4 from
the scope of the WMO obligation or, alternatively, any such consideration was inadequate and/or
incorrect.
2. OFCOM has failed to impose any control on the wholesale prices that Sky may charge for the supply
of Sky Sports 1 and/or 2 where they are bundled with Sky Sports 3 and/or 4 and/or any of Sky’s
Core Premium Movie channels.
3. The methodology adopted by OFCOM to calculate the maximum prices for the supply of Sky Sports
1 and Sky Sports 2 under the WMO obligation is flawed.
4. OFCOM has made an error in the mechanism which applies to calculate the maximum prices under
the WMO obligation following changes in Sky’s own retail prices.

The appeals in Cases 1156/8/3/10, 1157/8/3/10, 1158/8/3/10 and 1159/8/3/10 were heard together between 9 May 2011 and 15 July 2011. Judgment is pending.

Virgin Media has appealed because Ofcom did not include Sky Sports 3 and Sky Sports 4 in the ruling or impose on a control on the wholesale price Sky can charge for Sky Sports 1 and/or 2, when bundled with Sky Sports 3 and/or 4.

BT has appealed on the grounds that Ofcom should have included Sky Sports 3 and Sky Sports 3 in its judgment, and that the method used by Ofcom to dictate the set price was flawed and will not be flexible if Sky decides to lower its prices to consumers.
