You're being fair minded in seeing that others do it too. so you must see that if something 'was done' about that, then VM would be made to wholesale their 120Mb broadband so it could be bought for the same price from Sky and TiVo would be available from them too.
Taking that idea a bit further. They'd then all be the same. No competition, no need to compete, no possibility of differentiation. Pretty soon they'd sit around a table together (unofficially, of course) and fix prices. A bit like the energy market.
Only a possible vision, I agree, but Sky are only doing what they would be expected to do in the market as it is. We could legislate to change the market, but the poor customer would suffer as a result. Personally I'd prefer to miss Game of Thrones myself.
