It's all a red herring though. There's no room for another paid-for satellite provider in the UK because Sky has it all sewn up. The only satellite service that might dent Sky is Freesat, which you don't pay for. Virgin is a commercial company that needs to turn a profit, and it wouldn't find one in satellites.
I was just making the point that there are no legal or technical barriers to Virgin running their own satellite service.. Doesn't mean it's viable for them to do it.
