Off the hook

Article Abstract:

The UK Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has just completed a six month investigation into the operations of BSkyB pay-television operator. The investigation was carried out because of complaints by cable operators. However, while BSkyB has undertaken to change the structure of its rate card for cable operators which the OFT declared as being anti-competitive, it has still not been referred to the Mergers and Monopolies Commission.
