Go work for Apple, then discuss the capabilities of the next generation of any of their products. See how long your contract lasts.
Put simply, public knowledge per se is not harmful. What most companies do consider harmful is letting their competitors know the capabilities of their products before they are ready for release. They don't want to give their competitors advance notice of those capabilities as that would give their competitors time to react.
You don't think Sky and BT have employees that check out public forums from time to time? I don't know about BT (although I would be surprised if they didn't do it), but I have it on good authority that Sky do.
