How is this the fault of Sky/ITV?
You do know how the process works don't you, when they bid for rights, it isn't like Ebay or an auctions house, where everyone sits upping their bids (knowing what the last bid was), till no one is left, and you win.
It is done by closed auction, whereas everyone submits their bids, and no one knows what the others bid, sometimes it can go to a second or third round, and the highest wins, if Sky/ITV did not know how much BT were going to bid, they can't outbid them, unless they also go in for some unrealistic high price as well.
