To be honest I think Sky actually likes the idea of having the Sky channels on Virgin TV, they realised that not everyone likes Sky and is still able to gain revenue by supply other providers with there content and TV channels.

BT should be allowed to charge what ever it likes to use its network, how would you like it if you let a room out to a lodger and then someone from the authorities comes and tells you how much rent you should charge? BT are the ones who have to upgrade the infrastructure and they have to foot the bill, so since the other networks are using BT's, its time to cough up, thats why its a slow process and why Britain has such bad ADSL.

Virgin Media should be able to choose who uses its network as and when or be able to keep it closed. Its a privately owned business which has invested millions into the franchises for its own use.
