yep, i just hope the EC plan comes aflot and does not sink, im sure mr murdoch will find a way for a get-out clause, but you have to think, if NTL want to maximise revenue then they have to maybe do a sublet of matches to SKY, if the EC decides to allow this i think it would be good news allround, NTL subcribers pay £10 per month for football, SKY subscribers still get the football, you have to remember the reach of SKY is far greater than NTL, but i suppose the highlights shows are up for grabs.
