Breaking News - 4000 people to be contacted regarding hacking their phones.

Now you can't say that [mod edit] woman did not know what was going on!

Yes this this is the best bit as if they are not seen as fit and proper they will not get it.

But pending the results of the police enquiry into alleged illegal behaviour by the News of the World, and pending a public disclosure by News International of the way that it has changed its structures and practices to ensure such abuses never happen again, Ofcom is not in a position to adjudicate whether News Corporation is fit and proper.
So that means it will go the the Competition Commission.

Just said on Sky news OFCOM can only look at the current directors , therefore the takeover would go through , and an ex OFCOM executive said it has already passed competition commission stage.

So after all this they will still be able to buy Sky and then slowly make this incident look like it never happened

It has not passed the stage where ofcom can look at it and still pass it to the CC as was debated yesterday in the Commons.

Most will probably not spend as much as well if they ever return , especially if readers drastically drop off.

Look mate I hate the fella as much as you but most on here know it will still more than likely go through. Watch Sky news it's on now, listen the ex OFCOM guy. I personally hope he doesn't takeover BSKYB.

Why are they biased , Murdoch owns 39% of BSKYB not all of it , you would have a valued argument had he already took the further 61%. The NOTW are getting a rough ride on Sky news as well.

Can I remind members that although this is a highly motive subject this site is family friendly hence we do not accept any swearing even when hidden by the word censor.
