Well, in fact it gives Murdoch a monopoly-like position in the UK

The EU decision is completely delusive.

UK minister 'at war' with Murdoch
Britain's business minister 'declares war' on News Corporation chief.

Britain's business minister said he had "declared war" on Rupert Murdoch and planned to block the media mogul's efforts to take control of pay TV giant BSkyB, in remarks published Tuesday.

Vince Cable, the Liberal Democrat business secretary in Britain's coalition government, made the comments to undercover reporters from The Daily Telegraph newspaper who were posing as constituents.

"You may wonder what is happening with the Murdoch press," it quoted Cable as saying. "I have declared war on Mr Murdoch and I think we're going to win."

Discussing the 12.0-billion-dollar (9.1-billion-euro) takeover bid by Murdoch's News Corporation for BSkyB -- which was cleared by EU regulators on Tuesday -- Cable said he wanted to halt it.
