This is where Sky scores in terms of the business model.. and of course most of the investment that it made on the ground ends up being charged back to the consumer.

Combine all that with the fact that Sky requires users to buy their own boxes, therefore can roll out new boxes relatively cheaply (from their point of view, the consumer picks up the cost).

There's no reason (apart from capacity, I don't know) why Virgin Media couldn't rent bandwidth on the Astra system. That would liven things up a bit!

Maybe they will. At one point, I would have said they wouldn't have used ADSL for TV, but they appear to be planning to do so.
