Fox Free to Pursue Sky After Hacking Scandal?

Guardian: It’s been almost four years, but now seems as good a time as any to examine the fallout from phone hacking at the News of the World. With only a few charges remaining relating to phone hacking and payments to officials, most of the central characters involved are now more or less free to get on with their lives. So, will Rupert Murdoch go back and finish what he started with a bid for the 60.1% of Sky he does not already own? So much has changed in the media landscape since 2011 that some will argue it is counterintuitive to care. In a world in which European regulators are focused on the big digital groups — Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon — why would Murdoch want to take full control of a pan-European broadcaster? And who could be bothered to stop him?
