The UK government plans to end controversial retransmission fees that British public broadcasters pay to News Corp-backed satellite TV platform BSkyB for carriage.
A new report released the week by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport recommends the fees be stopped to bring the arrangement between Sky and the PSBs in line with “zero net charge” deals in place with cable operators such as Virgin Media.
Sky currently receives fees totalling nearly £10 million (US$15 million) to transmit the PSBs channels – the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 – on its platform, whereas cable operators receive nothing.

Interesting! Does this mean Sky may drop them?
