I have to say I find it hard to follow Ofcom's logic here.

Sky have paid a hefty price for the rights (which the various sports bodies are only too happy to take) so why should they now have to supply their competitors at a discount?

Because very industry needs regulating? Sky doesn't have a USO agreement but it has been lucky enough thanks to history to now find itself in a position of dominance, not just superiority or seniority.
