That can only be good news. £600m is a lot of money and if they manage to sell off their UKTV arm aswell, well they stand to make a ridiculous amount of money from that too. They might use the money to upgrade areas stuck in the dark ages! Here's hoping! Or they might invest it in other areas like IPTV or customer services etc who knows but they must be trying to free up some capital for something.

It would not surprise me one bit, if it wasn't Sky, there was a strong rumour a couple of months ago, that they offered £600 million for it, therefore it could, then they could go for the kill, and get the whole lot, don't forget, a thread l started last month, that they were running tests on cable boxes, l believe in Swindon.

Well IPTV is something that will be launching within the next year I think.
