Though not a monopoly on subscription based TV. They have the competitor that is cable. There's also the various IPTV platforms.
FWIW I see your point to an extent however I don't see how this is relevant to Virgin Media's debt, a number of extremely overpriced acquisitions and bad business decisions are more responsible than Sky. I certainly don't see how it's relevant to STM. More relevant to that is lack of network maintenance / upgrade in the past and the pushing out of the 20M service prematurely.
