What’s the bet this’ll end up with Sky News installed on all new TVs by default.

This article phrases this like it's a positive. Instead it now forces companies to preinstall even more bs.

I guess the argument is if your TV is going to come preloaded with subscription crap to provide easier access, then taxpayer funded "local" content should be just as easy to access. I think it's a fair decision to have ABC iView, maybe SBS. God, can you imagine SkyNews coming preinstalled. Ugh.
