Also, if they dip into funds from its tv business, content and quality will go down.

One2One bankrupted it self with stupid deals like unlimited calls for a fixed fee back in 1993 when calls were expensive. Cable and wireless had very bad management and lost money on poor decisions.
If Sky enter the mobile market they will have done research, looked in to predicted take, forecast incomes.
They will also make forcasts based on NOT having a mobile network they bought up Easynet and now have more fibre laid in the UK than Virginmedia and have the UK's only 100Gb fibre backbone.
Sky will have a mobile network of some kind which can feed onto their own network backbone.
