Wage freezes are by no means unique to the public sector.
If enough people cancelled Sky Sports then the company would have to freeze or even bring the price down. But people don't so it has no incentive to do so. And you can't blame the management. If they did not maximise profits by raising prices then the shareholders would change the management and get people in who would raise prices and maximise profits. And the shareholders are typically financial services companies investing peoples' pensions, savings, ISAs and insurance premiums for them. If they don't get the best returns their customers will find financial services companies who do.
