But they will still abuse their position Den. Everyone knows my argument is that Sky should put prices down to reflect the lost content, but they won't.

All they will do is keep ripping off the people who keep paying.

The only way to stop Sky being dominant is for people to stop paying them over the top for sports.

BT are trying to take Sky on, whether it is for the customer or their own gain I do not know. It is pointless though if people blindly pay Sky what Sky want.

I won't be drawn into an argument on this (everyone will be pleased to know) but the sooner people vote with their wallets, the sooner we will see real change.
