RE: Another FTA DTT STB....

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

The latest is the proposed “Dish Tax”, effectively, taxing Sky for using the airwaves (Gordon getting cute after the 3G thing) and that will probably push up the Sky subscriptions…again!

 

AFAIK, the powers that be are trying to stop Murdoch amassing any more power than he has at present, but time will tell.

What was the regulation change they were talking about that would let him buy ch5...

 

Surely it depends on whether he's made any party contributions?

The close of bidding or intention to seek the licence is on Thursday of
this week with the ITC announcing the winner on the 30th.

I think you're right James, the government won't let it totally fail and
let Mr Murdoch have it all his own way.
