[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 3022, member: 175057"] Hmmm, everyone talks of Rupert Murdoch's corporation as a person, corporations have one aim and that is to make money, if they are aiming for domination in a market place, it is only for the purpose of making money. To attribute human feelings and ambition to a corporation, I feel is misplaced, there will be corporate amdition, but I don't think it comes down to the personal level that is so often inferred. With regard to monopolies, I can't see how Sky can have much more of a monopoly than they already have. They made the right decisions at a very early stage, beat off first BSB and then ITV Digital (whose own stupidity did them no favours) and are now reaping the dividends, they seem to a greater extent to offer what the public wants out of pay TV. If you talk to the man in the street and not a satellite hobbyist, or ITV Digital pirate card user, they may complain about Sky, but its normally about the time it takes them to answer the phone, or the stupidity of a particular customer sevices person. It may even be about the extortionate price, but media domination.....doesn't enter the frame. Rolf [/QUOTE]
