I sort of thought that's what you were getting at, but i can only see a couple of reasons for this. One, they are confident that their new high price is fair, or two, rather than accept a lower price in a deal with Virgin, they could save face and use this process?
I'm not making any bold statements here, just trying to understand further...
I just think they are batting a dozen here and this might disillusion people further, who wants football on Sky One?? I'm a footy fan, yet i feel there is enough content out there already, this will right hack some women off who hate it as it is!
