I didn't say anywhere about absorbing the cost. Again it would be extra revenue for Sky from selling another service to cable customers. Admittedly VoD is not on the cards at all I am just speculating on what could happen if the two companies actually put hostility aside and shared services, there is money aplenty to be made for everyone.

Well there is a price point that customers won't pay, £10 on satellite gets you 37 shiny HD channels as there latest advertising campaign says. The Sky sub on cable would only include the sky channels. There could well stipulate that you have to take out the L or above pack before you could subscribe to it. Anything above £10 and they might as well not bother.
