Wholesale prices for Sky Sports 1 and 2

Sky Sports 1 Sky Sports 2 Sky Sports 1 & 2
Wholesale-must-offer price(from 1 July 2010) £13.42 £13.34 £19.07

Wholesale prices will track changes in retail prices over time based on a constant absolute (pounds) margin between retail and wholesale prices.

The prices shown apply to Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 (standard definition).

The wholesale must-offer remedy will apply to high-definition versions of the included channels. However, we have decided not to set a price for supply of these channels. Instead we have included an obligation for supply to be on a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory basis.


Charge Controls for Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) and Wholesale Line Rental (WLR)

We are consulting on proposed LLU/WLR price controls from the period 2011 to 2014. The consultation document can be found here: http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/wlr-cc-2011

To bridge the gap between the expiry of the current controls and the start of the new ones, Openreach has offered to adhere to charge ceilings calculated using the financial models used to set the current controls, adjusted for consistency with the remedies applied following the CC Determinations in the appeal of the current controls. These ceilings are as follows:

Service Bridging charge ceiling (from 1 April, 2011)
MPF Rental £91.50
SMPF Rental £14.70
WLR Rental £103.68
MPF New Provide £52.79
WLR New Connection £48.22
WLR Transfer £3.09
Ancillary services The charge for individual services to rise by no more than 3%.

Mobile Termination Rates

When fixed and mobile operators offer their customers the ability to call UK mobile numbers, they pay mobile operators a wholesale charge to complete those calls. The rates that operators pay are known as “mobile call termination” (MCT) charges.
