Ah, but it's not true competition though, is it? After all this time, we can still only get HBO by subscription through Sky.
That's more like a UK monopoly over content. Strange that none of the political parties are campaigning on this as one of the issues that consumers would welcome some legislation on.
Still, I suppose it's more eye catching to bang on about immigration, zero hours contracts and the powers of the trade unions!

The fault with that argument is that if you don't pay, you won't get to see the content you love!
A bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Calm down, dear!
