And to think you actually accuse other people of wearing rose tinted glasses
Re-read the report. It CLEARLY states that the cable company and Sky entered negotiations and it is the fault of the cable company that there was no conclusion to the negotiations. Despite what you keep on saying, the reason for the breakdown in negotiations was not price. It was the Cable company's lack of willingness to do business.
Despite what you might say, the actual evidence is that VM do not carry these channels because they do not wish to do so. Instead, VM have made it a habit of running to OFCOM crying about Sky when in fact the evidence suggests that this is a negotiation tactic by VM in itself, by forcing Sky to do business or face an unfair regulator in OFCOM.
