Sky to increase competition
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sky to increase competition
The Office of Fair Trading has won informal undertakings from British Sky Broadcasting that will increase competition in the delivery of cable services. BSkyB will "unbundle" its cable offerings, removing conditions that obliged cable operators to take a package of Sky channels in order to be eligible for discounts. The discount scheme will be extended until the end of year, and will be graduated to provide the highest savings to operators who take all of Sky's channels. BSkyB will also separately account for revenues from direct-to-home and cable distribution.
