Court deals new online blow to Sky Italia

June 5, 2020 12.14 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Italy’s top administrative court has reimposed content restrictions on Sky Italia that had previously been lifted.

Last year, the competition commission imposed a three-year ban on Sky Italia distributing exclusive content over its online platform.

It followed a deal between the Comcast unit and Mediaset for the sale of its premium DTT business, which the regulator said had the potential to limit competition in a market where Sky was already dominant.

In March a lower administrative court lifted the restrictions, leading to an appeal by the commission.

Papers shown to the higher court of Thursday indicated the measures had been reimposed.
