The European Commission has cleared, under the Merger Regulation, a joint venture, called MovieCo, which will offer a video-on-demand service in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The JV, created by US film studios Columbia Pictures and The Walt Disney Company together with UK company ON Demand Group, will create competition to the current dominant provider of Pay-tv content to the benefit of cable customers in the two countries. |
