Does no one else agree that making exclusive rights for TV content illegal would solve and content problems over night, and also result in the consumer paying less due to genuine choice.

If no one could buy e3xclusive football rights then the auctions would be finished and set prices, or prices per customer would come in. Much better for us the consumer. It would also save £millions in stupid "investigations" that solve nothing.

So surely people should stop pressuring OFCOM to focus on Sky and point them to content rights owners and prevent them from having exclusive contracts. If the EPL wasn't so greedy they would let all TV channels buy all packs so all games were on several channels.

Its so obvious but everyone finds it easier to point everything at Sky forgetting content owners could quite easily let everyone have their content.
