Given the new contracts for the Sky Basics now I suspect Sky wouldn't do much, but thinking long term it does mean that in the not so distant future Sky would have the opportunity to deprive VM of a much bigger portion of the available content.

Don't forget Sky is the company that was prepared to throw away millions purely to stop VM buying something that would potentially make them more competitive against Sky (ITV). I'm sure that ethos of throwing money at things, accepting they may lose it, to hurt VM hasn't changed.
