Sky are not pooing themselves. Why do you think they bought that ISP? Because they wanted to provide broadband for customers? Well, partly. It would also main that they have a ready supply of potential viewers for On Demand. Which, having a broadband network that covers more of the UK than Virgin's cable network (Virgin do not offer VOD via ADSL), they could implement as easily as Virgin have. All they need is STBs with active Ethernet connections (such as Sky HD), the right software and head end servers (which they could buy like VM have done).
