This article from the Financial Times is about Virgin Media complaining to OFCOM, the regulators of TV about live Premier League matches being to expensive for consumers. The Premier league matches are either on BSkyB (Sky Sports) or Bt (BT Sports). This means that consumers have to spend at least £51 a month to see all games shown on TV live.
Also, in the UK, the price for domestic football is more than any other country and in Spain, Germany and Italy its half the sum.
In my opinion, I think that in order for the prices to go down, OFCOM needs to give any company that shows the Premier League a cap on how much they can charge allowing more people to watch something they are passionate about.
