What?
BT have been wholesaling out to Sky since the launch of Sky Broadband - it is using BT products. Openreach products to reach the LLU areas and Wholesale products to get to those that aren't connected to unbundled exchanges.
VM have had access to the extra 50% of the country via BT's wholesale products, how do you think Chris is using Virgin National?
I have no idea what you are trying to say or what you are talking about with regard to Tivo, etc, you appear to have not noted the various developments with regards to structural separation of BT and wholesale access to the BT customer base.
If you think Virgin are going to suddenly cable an extra 40% of the country you're simply wrong, especially given Pierre seems to think that the BT assets are so low value. VM are trialling expansion of their network via BT's network and fibre to the cabinet using existing BT products.
VM magically paying their debts quicker is also somewhat incorrect, VM would be spending a not inconsiderable amount of money developing the network with no guarantee of good returns on any investment so would be incurring further debt doing such a deployment.
