This disagreement is simply a big business decision so the end user suffers and eventually pays more for the TV programmes. Many quality shows will now become split accross these two carriers as virgin begins its own range and begins to bid on shows like lost etc, and yes in the future you will likely be able to purchase as a higher priced premium package on sky the virgin package and vice versa for cable customers. I think many would be surprised just who is rubbing who's backs here. Thats all thats its about, how to screw as much as possible out of as many as possible, this is all its ever about. They are all the same, the only difference being Mr Branson is undoubtedly one of the most shrewd business men going, someone who knows very well how to butter both sides of his toast, yet retain the appearance the toast is only buttered on the one side.
