I suppose the ultimate answer is if we want all the said services (and it's practical) is to get Sky.

I look at it a bit differently i pay £22.50 a month for sky sports for that i think we should get a full service and why not,sky did invest thats a given but against a background at the time of BT post privatisation being forbidden for a few years launching a tv service so you could say sky has had a leg up.
Also we as taxpayers made an investment in BT which sky now have access to for their broadband offering without ever having made any investment themselves in the telephone network,or indeed laying their own lines.
I cannot have access to sky but after forking out a hefty amount a month i do not see why i should have to start to watch a cricket match,only for it to continue on red button with no access for me.
Sky have invested but they make no bones about using things others have invested in,glass houses and all that.

Unless vm made a different deal at the time of the sale of their channels to sky.
