Ofcom has attributed responsibility for the failure to reach agreement
largely to Sky’s failure to engage constructively with its counterparties. However
the evidence shows that Sky did, on the whole, engage constructively. On the other
hand its counterparties by no means always did so, and in our view regulatory
gaming on the part of some of Sky’s counterparties played a much more important
role in the commercial negotiations and their progress (or lack of it) than Ofcom has
recognised.
Ahhh glad im believing in better with my TV provider

The Tribunal has concluded that neither of Sky’s and FAPL’s two grounds of challenge to Ofcom’s jurisdiction to take action under section 316 in the present case succeeds.

does this not show that Sky lost

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
Somewhat surprised that the take up of Sky Sports is so low across the Virgin customer base. Somewhere between 10 and 12%. That can't just be because of price-the difference really isn't that great. I find it slightly surprising that ofcom think Sky's negotiations with several other companies have failed because of the other companies and not the common denominator-common sense tells you thats unlikely-but perhaps the reason why companies like Virgin haven't engaged fully, if that really is the case, is that there's no real incentive for them to do so because there really isn't the clamour for these channels that some would have you believe.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms

Then the master has failed and perhaps it is time for you to leave your throne.

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
l have just found two quotes from DS and they are as follows.
Quote:
LONDON (Reuters) - British satellite broadcaster BSkyB lost a long-standing dispute over the price it can charge rivals for its sports content after Britain's Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) ruled against the company on Wednesday.
The dispute dates back to 2010 when media regulator Ofcom ordered BSkyB to reduce the amount charged to competitors, such as Virgin Media and BT for its two most important SkySports channels in a move designed to increase market competition.

Quote:

BSkyB lost on jurisdiction challenge, but Tribunal found Ofcom's core competition concern to be unfounded
