"Hehe... All that lovely revenue from price gouging Sky subscriptions..."

Except that by the sounds of it, the EU is moving towards being a single market on digital goods too. If geoblocking is not allowed, then the content providers making geoblocking part of the licensing contract will have to remove those contract restrictions for their content or simply not sell into the entire EU market.

So Sky, instead of having one big EU market will have the Eu + UK. Maybe they can gouge one or the other, or even both, but they can't gouge 27 26 EU members separately.
