Sky releases Ofcom rebuttal

BSkyB has released its full, 277-page rebuttal, to UK regulator Ofcom’s consultation document on “proposed remedies” for the pay-TV market. Sky’s report comes along with six annexes from external consultants.

The rebuttal, which Sky released in precis form in September, is detailed, picking apart Ofcom’s arguments in attention-grabbing sub-headline form. The introduction alone contains sub-headers such as “Ofcom’s extreme agenda”; “Ofcom’s recourse to its sectoral powers is unsound”; and “Ofcom’s assessment of the evidence is skewed and its analytical approach defective”. Elsewhere in the document, Ofcom fares little better.

Those wishing to read the full report can find it, along with annexes, at:

Will the PCMCIA socket in their boxes now be functional for other services ?
How about a new set of symbol rates.

Thought not.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

Not forgetting a freely available CAM.

Nice to see Ofcom baring its teeth at long last.
