End of the day the reasons dont matter, they dont work.
But at the end of the day if you ask someone for something and they will not give it to you the only alternative is legislation to separate transmission from content and code or legislation to force sharing. Sky have shown they don't like to play nice on the TV front on a number of occasions, the latest being the lowball they managed to negotiate on the VM channels and the premium they tried to charge on the Sky channels.

Do you really think those that manage Sky 1 / News / Sports News etc don't want to be broadcasting on the VM network or do you think it is a decision from above them to premium price these channels off that network. The decision will be hurting the Profits of the chanels and the bonuses of those that manage the channels.
