The network side would be competing on a more even keel with BT, VM, etc.

I have never got what is a media company doing in the business of telecommuications (phone and broadband)?
The should sell they satellite TV/telelcommuncations assets (and keep the channels) not just in BSkyB (selling it to BT), but in Sky Italia (selling it to Telecom Italia), Foxtel (selling it to Telstra), Sky Network Television (selling it to Telecom New Zealand) and Sky Deutschland (selling it to Dechsche Telekom)
