No it doesn't. It's OFCOM's view that they are saying is wrong.

In the Judgement the CAT say:

In our view the evidence overall demonstrates that VM is rightly regarded by Sky as a serious, well-established rival capable of constraining Sky’s actions in the market, and that it does in fact compete effectively with Sky in the retail supply of packages which include CPSCs. We therefore conclude that Ofcom’s finding as to the effect of the rate card prices on VM’s incentives and competitive effort is not justified. Nor indeed is customer choice likely to be adversely affected to any real extent. Existing customers of VM who wish to take CPSCs can do so without switching, and at prices which are comparable with those on DTH satellite.
