Yes but that could take time as these appeals tend to go on and on.

As I have said before there are no dates in the diary for this? So as I have stated before it normally takes about 9 months for a straightforward case (And I do not believe that this is a straightforward case?).
If it takes as long as the Competition Commission will will not get a result for 2 years from when the case was submitted?

That will never happen or be allowed to happen in a million years.

Based on your logic, because we are unlikely to get any more Sky channels with Ofcom's help, Virgin Media have to release a higher tier package making themselves more expensive than Sky making more people switch to Sky.

So because your impatient and think Virgin Media even have the money to compete with Sky you want them to go into bankruptcy.

Genius.

Wrong date? Registered: 14/2/2011. Summary of appeal published on 25 February 2011.

So you will be looking at February 2013.
