  • SKY's RESPONSE to OFCOM's REVIEW of the PAY TV WHOLESALE MUST-OFFER OBLIGATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. There Is No Need To
    SKY’S RESPONSE TO OFCOM’S REVIEW OF THE PAY TV WHOLESALE MUST-OFFER OBLIGATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. There is no need to continue to impose the WMO obligation on Sky. It is a solution to a problem that does not exist. Sky spends over £[CONFIDENTIAL] a year to produce the Sky Sports channels, and, following the result of the recent auction of Premier League rights, that figure will rise significantly from 2016/17. This provides a powerful, indeed strengthening, incentive to distribute those channels on as wide a range of platforms, to reach as many potential subscribers, as possible. 2. And this is what actually is observed. Sky’s sports channels have always been available on cable, which for many years was the only platform in the UK capable of carrying them other than satellite. As the range of platforms operating in the UK with the capacity to carry those channels has expanded, Sky has reached the commercial agreements necessary to deliver its channels via those platforms. 3. Today, Sky’s sports channels are available to UK consumers in a multitude of ways, including satellite, cable, IPTV platforms, a range of ‘over the top’ (“OTT”) IP-based services, 3G and 4G mobile networks. And they are retailed by a range of firms other than Sky – Virgin Media, BT, and TalkTalk – all of which compete strongly with Sky for customers, in particular for valuable ‘triple play’ customers. Sky itself retails the channels both on a traditional basis, via its satellite service, and via NOW TV, a widely available and highly marketed OTT service that offers consumers that do not want a full subscription to the channels the ability to pay to watch them on a daily or weekly basis.

MOD300015537 For Distribution to CPs ® News International 17 April 2012 Mr Max Mosley 7, Avenue Saint Roman MC 98000 Monaco It has come to my attention that on 10"' March 2011 you wrote to Mr Rupert Murdoch, as Chairman and Chief Executive of News Corporation, about the conduct of Mr Neville Thuribeck, who at that time remained the chief reporter of The News of the World. Your letter concerned Mr Thuribeck’s conduct as described in the judgement which Mr Justice Eady gave in July 2008. 1 understand that, when it was received last year, your letter was referred by Mr Murdoch’s office to News International for consideration and a reply. I further understand that you did not receive a reply. Please accept my apologies, on behalf of News International, for the failure to respond to you and for the discourtesy involved. I will write to you shortly with a full response, but you will no doubt be aware that, by the date of your letter, the Metropolitan Police had embarked upon Operation Weeting (acting on information received from News International) and, on 5 April 2011, Mr Thuribeck was arrested.
