True competition would be for BT and Sky to both to have all the games and see who can offer the cheapest price to viewers.
The way the system works now, with service providers trying to outbid each other for exclusive rights, can only drive prices for consumers up.
Why are the football authorities allowed to do this? They should be told to offer all matches as an option to all service providers who want them. That is true competition. Sports fans are being ripped off. And OFCOM does nothing.
