i can see why they have done it to allow Netflix time to see if it could break skys dominence on the movie front.

But surely it does not change one of their preliminary findings which was.

The Commission provisionally ruled that the prices charged by BSkyB for carrying the service were too high, so firms such as Virgin Media could not make a profit on it.

Either sky are charging too much or they are not! in my mind the Netflix entry in the uk market does not alter that simple fact.
