If it were only the football fans paying for the inflated prices, then that would be fine --- let them knock themselves out doing so. But everyone is paying for football through things like increased line rental.
The only true competition is to make all football available to all providers. Then the providers would have to differentiate themselves through things like price and added extras.
And why, in this day and age, aren't these various football leagues available as a direct online subscription? And the reason is, by keeping things the way that they currently are now, they can continue to fleece the whole of the British public. Daylight robbery springs to mind.
