That will be up to the British public and the Crown.
But I cannot see the police using the tabloids as an intelligence service and vice versa begin tolerated, either ( Recall not only did they pay the police for information, but apparently the police got information from the tabloids in certain cases it is alleged.)
And while spying on the relatives of crime victims is sordid and can be dealt with in the courts in a civil suit, the fools also spied on various cabinet ministers, the monarch's household, and apparently on certain military figures.
In most countries this is regarded as espionage, and carries serious criminal sanctions.
Also I see they face contempt charges over spying on an innocent man accused of a murder.
So in short the Murdoch crew have torqued everyone in the UK from Elizabeth on down through the government, parliament, the courts, the rest of the media, the police to the working class family.
Pretty hard to run a business in the kingdom with this whole set thinking you are a band of scoundrels and the lot all wanting a chunk of your arse.
(Edited to note they now have been discovered to have been spying on the families of the war dead from Iraq and Afghanistan. What scum. Various soldiers groups are demanding the police release the names of those spied on to them. Also it appears several other murder case phones were hacked, notably that of Danielle Jones, Madeleine McCann, and Sarah Payne, and also that they hacked the phones of the Scotland Yard detectives assigned to investigate their phone hacking.)
