This is all round bad news for Virginmedia, They pay a lot for Skysports and BT will want a lot for their channelas they have paid A LOT of money for the 2 packs.

Why give Virginmedia a cheap deal? BT is also a platform owner like SKY where premierplus and ESPN were just content. So BT will use this as a pull to get customers onto BT-Vision.

No incentive to give Virginmedia a cheap deal as they're a competing platform. An that is a very important point to keep in mind.
