Interesting article.

Funny how this has cropped up yet again:

"Which brings us back to the current spat over advertising. After Ofcom's pay-TV review, BSkyB faced being compelled to wholesale its premium sports channels to BT at regulated prices. But with no obligation running the other way – on BT to wholesale to BSkyB – BT would then have been in the enviable position of promoting its YouView platform service as the only place to get all Premier League football. And that was the position last year when BT spent its £730m on football rights. But the Competition Appeals Tribunal decision to upend the Ofcom ruling means there is no obligation on BSkyB to wholesale its channels to BT at all."

This is now about the forth article I've seen in about 10 days stating SKY are under no obligation to wholesale SKY Sports.
