At the time Sky was deemed to have significant market power in the wholesale provision of premium channels.<\/p>\n<p>The case eventually went to the <strong>Competition Appeal Tribunal<\/strong> (CAT), which surprised some by ruling that Sky&#8217;s prices for the premium content were already fair and thus overruling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s decision. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> then complained that CAT\u2019s ruling had failed to correctly consider the regulators findings concerning competition in the market and the case ended up before the <strong>Court of Appeal<\/strong>, which earlier this year sided with Ofcom and sent the case all the way back to the CAT (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/02\/court-appeal-sends-ofcom-sky-sports-tv-competition-case-back-cat.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Ed Richards, Ofcom&#8217;s Chief Executive, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>After more than four years of litigation and legal challenges, Ofcom\u2019s 2010 pay TV decision continues to serve the interests of UK consumers and this ruling is consistent with our original decision.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Today\u2019s ruling paves the way for more top sports to be available on another TV service and supports competition and innovation in the communications sector as we originally intended.

However, much has changed since Ofcom&#8217;s original decision in 2010 and the UK Pay TV market is now a lot more competitive and dynamic, which means that Ofcom will need to publish a new consultation on the &#8216;Wholesale Must Offer&#8217; situation in the &#8220;<em>coming months<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>The new consultation will need to take account of all the recent changes and might well end up being more flexible than the original 2010 decision, especially in light of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>\u2019s big push into the market for premium sports content with their <strong>BTSport<\/strong> channels (this\u00a0is also\u00a0given for free\u00a0to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s own broadband subscribers).
