It does seem as if Sky has been using Interactive as a fig-leaf to hide away things it really ought to have been selling on in the first place.
I can't say I'm surprised at the state the pay-TV industry has got into; this is what happens when someone controls both the content and the primary means of delivering it.
I had to laugh when I heard Sky claiming Setanta's ownership of two of the football rights packages is proof that competition is alive and well - it was a Regulatory decision that competition had failed that forced the rights to be chopped up in a way that guaranteed Sky could no longer win all of them.
