None maintain (or have their profitability depend on) as high a market share as Sky. Without that market share Sky’s profit plummets. As a key rights holder their costs are relatively fixed.

For as long as I remember the Sky strategy has been to withhold some key content from rivals through the red button, bonus channels or HD variants.

I accept what that is has evolved over time.
