The increasing cost of sports rights goes on unabated.

Presumably there will come a point at which they are so expensive that Sky will be forced to wholesale their rights to other content providers, as mooted in the article.

Eventually, the competition and price issues should resolve themselves but I think it will be a long and rocky road getting there.

Pity our watchdogs aren't sold on regulation to force the issue on behalf of consumers. Sky won't do anything like this until it is dragged kicking and screaming to what is fair and reasonable.
