In terms of the commercial side, absolutely right. There's been intimations on here and some other threads about the whole FTA thing, carriage fees on one platform but not another etc. I should imagine Ofcom would want a level playing field with that.
Otherwise I suspect restoration depends on which company is getting hurt the most at the moment, and therefore who is more likely to want an escape route.
