The link may interest some people it seems like Ofcom is not going to investigate You view.

Now on the youview site
http://www.youview.com/category/news/
Quote:
“In response to Ofcom’s decision today not to open an investigation under the Competition Act, YouView CEO Richard Halton said:
“We have been clear throughout this process that YouView will stimulate competition in the TV platform market and create opportunities for content providers and device manufacturers. Most importantly it represents a great consumer proposition. We therefore welcome this decision from Ofcom.
“In a market dominated by pay services, we are creating the only mass market IPTV service that will be subscription free. All our efforts are now focused on launching a brilliant consumer product for launch next year. We look forward to broadening our engagement with wider industry partners over the coming weeks and months.””

But looks like Ofcom will still keep an eye on Youview!

Bet that has upset Murdoch!
Especially one concern was about exclusivity of on-demand content. Erm... Can you see Sky programmes on any other on-demand platform other than Sky Player? Nope.

I bet Murdoch don't even care, sky knows that you view is not going to make a scrap of difference.
As I have said before it is all about publicity.

Maybe this time next year you view may have a box out and in 2 years after that it may be reliable, but I will not hold my breath.

Think when VM sold Living, Bravo etc they also made a deal from Sky content!
TalkTalk and BT might struggle to keep Sky content unless Ofcom intervene as in Sky sports 1 and 2 which is still not resolved and could still be taken off!
