I've never said that I'm happy, just that regulating all channels is not a good solution.

Trying to kill off the competition is conventional business, whether that's nice or not is an entirely different question. The UK government offering lots of small cable franchises as oppose to a single licence and Robert Maxwell's asset-stripping stewardship of Rediffusion probably harmed cable more than Sky has ever done.
