Thats silly you know if you dont have a VM line its not free to phone VM so its the same with both companies. In fact you dont even need to pay sky line rental if you on sky talk CPS then thats enough for free calls to their call centres.

VM I believe sell certian premium channels at a loss to remain competitive, non premium channels are mostly break even or a very small profit. I have heard from more than one source TV makes them no money and its just so they could offer triple play.
Sky however is the opposite they sell broadband at a loss but it means they also offer triple play. So both companies are making losses on certian products to keep customer retention high.
