That's a harsh and unjust allegation, mate. Read the Telegraph article and their decision makes perfect sense. I put the blame for high sports prices at the door of the Premier League. They could sell all their matches to both Sky and BT but prefer to take higher payments for exclusive deals.
BT will simply try to outbid SKY on the next bidding round i fear and it will be the consumer who ends up paying for it all in the long run, it's a pity sky, vm and bt can't all just work together and create 3 great platforms with great choice.
