Consumers fight back over Sky row

BBC News Online tells us that a leading consumer body is thinking of taking the spat between Sky and Virgin Media further after yesterday's loss of some Sky channels on the cable platform.

The National Consumer Council (NCC) is suggesting that it may ask for a formal review of the Digital Television space in the UK, accusing the providers of "behaving like children".

Philip Cullem, the Chief Exec of the NCC, said:

"At the end of the month we'll make a decision about putting in the super-complaint that that will help to knock heads together.

"It's time to get them back round a table - let's have a common sense solution and one that puts the customers first rather than all this posturing between two rather big media companies."
