Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
Does that mean VM etc now get Sky Sports channels at a cheaper price starting today?

The following will happen if the story on Eurosport is true.
1) Maybe just maybe they (BSkyB and Virgin) need to sign an new deal first for the price to be cut.
OR
2) BSkyB will give Virgin Media the rights to carry the rest of the Sky Sports HD Channels.

Also looks like Virgin will be getting money back just in case Sky won the appeal, they have still been paying full price and difference was kept aside untill the outcome of the appeal.

That would be excellent if true , very few news sources seem to be reporting it yet.

It is this part of the non-confidential judgement?

In particular we should give due weight to Ofcom’s decision and its reasoning, and should not interfere with it unless satisfied that it is wrong
|
We will need to wait for the full and redacted judgement?

Re: Sky Sports pricing dispute: appeal ruling looms
Sky won the appeal, whats more the judgment extract notes about how virgin and others were the ones making things difficult.
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
