Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
After more than two years of wrangling BSkyB is set to find out whether its attempt to overturn Ofcom's order to slash the amount it charges rivals to offer its flagship Sky Sports channels has been successful.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
So if they lose the appeal, could this mean that Virgin would be in a better bargaining position to carry Atlantic, plus the other 2 Sports channels in HD?

They have to wait for any redactions from all parties in the ruling and also if they need any more evidence?

Again it seems Sky are doing everything in their power to drag this out for as long as possible but then again thats no surprise given their track record on these things.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
The ruling has been published. Have I read it correctly in thinking that Sky have won their appeal or am I just being dumb ? (I must admit I did skim through it quite quickly lol)

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
No I think you're right. But doesn't it just mean the appeal is allowed? Or have they won? And what does that mean regarding VM users of Sky Sports & movies HD?

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
Way I read it is that when OFCOM finally make their ruling, SKY are allowed to appeal against it. Which means that VM customers will be screwed over and over again.
