I hope that Sky raise their game now and start focusing more on their customers, giving them more of what they want. A lot of people actually detest Sky for various reasons, but it would be good if they could plot out a new direction and put their past practices behind them. This might well change attitudes in the medium term.
Sky need to revise their business plan as a matter of urgency if they don't already have an imaginative pathway in place to keep moving forward. Sky have beaten the odds before, and I do hope that they will do so again, but in a nice way this time.
Sky have done a lot for British television and I for one appreciate that. If they can drive forward a more customer friendly company that can behave in a more appropriate way with their competitors, that can only be a good thing in helping people to change their minds about the company.

You say bullied, in that case, is BT the bully?
If someone wishes to spend their money, for them to do that, and for customers to pay, or not.
Too much emotive language concerning these businesses, which is what they are
