Comcast lobbed an official $31bn proposal to buy European pay-TV operator Sky — but it may have a much bigger deal in mind down the road.
Comcast’s official bid to buy Sky tops an existing offer from 21st Century Fox, which already owns a 39% stake in Sky. Comcast said it was considering such an offer in February.
