Yes, but Sky (or whoever) pay BT for the line and you pay Sky for all the calls/line rental. You are effectively a Sky customer using BTs network infrastructure. So, why should BT pay for other telecoms providers customers to access these numbers?

These numbers are taken by businesses/organisations to make money from people calling them. These numbers are nothing to do with BT. BT have announced that they will pay for THEIR customers to call them. If you don't pay your bill to BT, why should they pay for you to call them? They're a business not a charity.
