Sky Movies monopoly probe dropped in UK

article published on 24 May, 2012

Regulators leave Sky Movies off the hook. The Competition Commissioner had found last August that Sky enjoyed a monopoly on running movies first in the UK for years.

The Murdock's should be disbarred from owning any business in the UK......and the USA would be well advised to begin their own enquiries as to how corrupting this lot have been in the US.
