The following clause or similar would ensure the Sky 1a and Sky Atlantic situation would not have occurred:
ii.In addition, BSkyB will ensure that any channels not included in Appendix x which are not Premium channels (as defined in Appendix z) will be made available at the rate set out in appendix y for a period of no less than 20 years. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes all channels (other than Premium channels) wholly owned by BSkyB or their wholly owned subsidiaries.

Yes - any company would be happy to sign a contract that states that things that don't yet exist will be covered (because, of course, that would be signing away any future product differential they have.....)
Really? have you ever been involved in major contract negotiation with a multi-national corporation?
