I don't disagree, Sky got in to a dominant market position by spending money to the detriment of the consumer, financially at least. I'm just not sure i can join you in rejoicing in the rise of BT to take them on because i can't see how allowing a company to repeat the anti competitive practices of another benefits anybody other than that company.
The industry requires a shake up-streaming options are beginning to provide genuine competition to entertainment tv subscriptions, where a range of companies offer broadly the same content, meaning they have to compete in other ways, but when it comes to sport there are too many vested interests reliant on huge exclusive deals with big companies. If those companies are making a profit, and they are, it stands to reason that it must be the consumer bearing the cost of these deals. Dressing it up as "free" by bundling it with other devices doesn't mean that's not true.
