I'm not sure they will be that worried as they will probably start to hit the same problem mobilephone companys are having. Saturation- bassically everyone has a mobile-phone now so getting new customers is a struggle.
With 10.5 million customers on Sky,VM have 5 million, BT Vision has a million or 2 an so on. The days of massive quarterly growth may well be over for Sky.
But the results are good I would say.
The company signed up 159,000 customers to its high-definition TV service, taking the total base to 4.2 million.
BSkyB managed to add 212,000 broadband customers taking the total to 3.86 million and 220,000 to its telephony services taking the total to 3.6 million.
Just over 30% of Sky customers took a triple play of TV, broadband and telephony from BSkyB as at 31 March, up from 26% in the year to the end of March 2011.
