No exclusive sky only channels like Atlantic that give them a competitive advantage.. Especially when like me I have witnessed sky salesman going around selling sky to vm customers on the premise they have channels vm don't when the truth is the only reason vm don't have is because sky won't release them.
Also it would make pricing more competitive, as sky would have to buy the channels at the same rate as bt and vm and topuptv, so prices would become more competitive and reasonable.

I am afraid OFCOM missed that boat when they did their mammouth almost three year pay tv review a while back.
The above makes absolute sense to me.
