I can't help thinking that ofcom have decided that the packages have to be split, meaning that the cost of the rights have been inflated and subscription prices will, inevitably, rise. When will the authorities learn that competition is supposed to be a good thing for the consumer, not the already fat Premier League. I await a statement from Virgin with interest, as well as further details from BT as to their plans, but f1 had been edging me towards subscribing to Sky Sports, and today's news might just be the final nudge. We'll see.
