The Sky/BSB 'merger' was completely different though. They both used the same analogue technology: all that was required was that the subbscriber could see all the necessary satellites.

If the two rival services had both gone on to develop different and incompatible digital TV system before the takeover, it would be a very different story. Likewise if NTL had gone for CWC's digital system, as Telewest did, rather than their own, things would be much better today.
