You appear to pretty much always post on the side of corporate profits as opposed to a fairer, wider access perspective.

Is maximising profits, in your view, the paramount and only consideration, these media companies should take into account?
Your wrong in your assumptions I don't agree with many things in the pay TV industry , sadly as an individual there's very little I can do to change things.

I'm very much against the forthcoming Sky price increases and have already decided I'll leave call it my stance against above inflation increases. Sadly it will make little to no difference as many will just complain then do nothing and continue paying the huge amounts.

However competition is the strongest its ever been.
