On the contrary this could be excellent news for everyone. Divorcing Sky from News International could reduce it’s political influence and increase the amount of regulation across the industry, which would only be good news for the consumer considering Sky, BT and Virgin have significant market power.

One of very few weak defences of Sky is that pension providers hold shares in them - nonsense I know in terms of how we should view an industry - but this gives a good opportunity for them to cash out.
