As far as I know, D3&4 C&M is centralised rather than regional. The BBC and the commercial PSB's will have to pool resources and share the BBC B multiplex for their HD channels.

There goes Ericsson's monopoly.

Although Sky handle their own playout, so it wasn't really a monopoly.

As Red Bee also handle playout of GB News it's amazing that this channel, so famous for technical problems, seems to have escaped this one.
