I'm on Virgin and they charge a mint for sky sports....even yhough sky have to charge less, i'll wager virgin wont drop their prices at all, so more profit for them

will be interesting to see if it forces them(sky) to reduce the charge to their own customers or if they hike the price up to cover the loss

Ofcom seem to have been announcing a few things in the last week or so. Interesting timing to say the least with an election looming as David Cameron (Murdoch's new mate) is known to highly dislike Ofcom (coincidentally so does Murdoch). Be interesting to see how it develops.

yes saw they had a pop at the mobile /cellphone companies as well not before time
i can phone my mum or mrs Turk or dan cheaper using my mobile in Turkey than i can using the mobile here in uk cant be right
but we in uk do pay over the odds for everthing tv phones and internet time things got sorted out

and as you say they may be getting as much done before hands get tied if new government is elected

The Tories have said that they'll cut Ofcom's power if they get in. Maybe that's the reason that Ofcom are pushing out these decisions before the election is formally announced?

How will Ofcom boil their kettles if the Tories cut their power?

Portable camping stoves maybe?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the BBC are on the hit list as well. I think Murdoch has been 'promised' a clearer run at world domination in return for the S*n supporting the tories.
