Saw this in the ITVX thread and thought it warranted its own:

I am not at all convinced that this will lead anywhere - rather this is brinkmanship designed to force the government to get their backsides into gear. After all, it seems to be a truism that if ITV ask Ofcom to jump, the response is always ‘how high?’.
But what about if the unthinkable did happen? Would the government put the franchises back out to tender (something I know one or two here dream about)? Would Channels 4 and/or 5 pick up the slack left by ITV?
