That way the broadcasting organisation would need to market itself to as wide an audience possible via the widest possible number of carriers. The network side would be competing on a more even keel with BT, VM, etc.
I would be happy with News International split and forced to sell its newspapers and the news desk. So it would be tv or newspapers/ news.
