The difference being that before, Sky would not have have spent hundreds of millions buying an ISP. They would not have spent hundreds of millions buying shares in ITV, despite the fact they are specifically forbidden from owning 100% of any terrestrial channel.
I've also noticed in the last few months (since NTL started talking about the merger), Sky have been advertising more and more. Then, we come to their adverts. Sorry, "Editorial Comments" being broadcast regulalarly asking Virgin (or, as they put it, Virgin:NTL) customers to phone and complain if the channels are taken off air.
