Surely it could only be 'anti-competitive' if there was no alternative whatsoever, & to answer Chrysalis's point above, there is always an alternative-if you don't want ntl's phone line, & can't have/don't want Sky, then you always have the choice of not having DTV-it's not really the end of the world is it?
