Haven't Sky called for this to happen before?

It's pure posturing on their part. It would be amusing for VM to actually call their bluff and say 'go on then'. Sky know *nothing* about the cable infrastructure and the fractured nature of UK cable would probably make them run away and hide.

Cable in the UK is saddled with billions in debt because they built a second network. This was a bold move the likes of which are normally not made in this country, usually because the almighty dollar outweighs potential benefits to people. No cash from the public purse was used so VM have every right to tell Sky to go and jump.

If they even officially respond.
