Mind you sky themselves appear happy that their access to BT lines is regulated saves them investing in their own eh,for their phone and broadband offerings sky are quite happy for cut price access in this case.
That is very inaccurate. Sky haven't battered anyone into submission.

And I don't get the 'bad for the consumer' argument either. What is this based on? VM carry the majority of Sky's channels. Who exactly is losing out?
