Until someone like ntl: buy the football packages that Sky are not allowed
to !!! (If that happened it could be that *ONLY* cable viewers would get
ALL matches!)

I think it is good, anything that loosens Sky's monopoly might make them
improve their value.

I doubt if this will be good news.

As it stands, a Sky Sports subscription plus £50 for PremPlus gives me all
Prem matches.

If Sky don't have all the games, let's say Sentana or someone gets some of
them.

I will then need to subscribe to them as well.

Will BBC or ITV get them and show them on FTV? They probably won't be able
to compete with subscription channels.

Will Sky reduce their subscriptions? Highly unlikely!

I think this is the situation in Italy and it certainly doesn't benefit the
fans.

Well intended legislation against monopolies that will in practice cost the
consumer more.

Back off Brussells etc........
