That happens when the competition is not selling the same thing. ESPN was selling crap games, BT have 18x best games.
With phones, and gas and electric, it's a mess and prices are constantly changing confusing the customer, who don't know what the best deal is. Government needs to regulate better.
But Sky wouldn't be able to afford to charge what they charge now if BT charged significantly less with 50% of the games.

Price-fixing generally ensures a higher cost is maintained preventing a price war.
This is perverse logic you're all coming out with.
