"Unless there's a change in the (U.K.) regulatory landscape, you will not see us employing shareholder capital in the premium TV space," Berkett said.

That means Virgin wont compete with Sky on the Premium TV side, but will compete on Middle Ground TV.
After reading that Virgin were out of the race, actually got me thinking about the
BSkyB 1; Virgin Media 0 article previous.
If anything, Sky have done Virgin a favour by buying that share. They have lost money, as they didnt see the Credit Crunch coming. So because Sky blocked Virgin, Virgin SAVED money!
Id say thats
BSkyB 0; Virgin Media 1.

Talk Talk has sent a complaint to the ASA for the adverts containing “Truth, Lies and Broadband”:
“There are lots of companies out there selling “high speed” broadband, claiming to be the fast and cheapest in the land.
"Most broadband companies wouldn’t tell you that. We’re not most broadband companies.”

Once again, the ASA ruled in favour of Virgin and stated that they cant see how the advert makes other companies look "decietful".
Virgin said that would make their service less popular.
