Never say never. SKY seems to have hit their ceiling at the moment in terms of attracting customer numbers. Whilst they can continue to up sell their customer base products such as HD or the 2TB box, nothing would bring in more revenue than agreeing carriage deals with Virgin and BT.

I can’t see SKY giving up SKY Sports 3 & 4 in HD unless they are forced too. SKY Atlantic however could be up for grabs. Someone did post a link to an article last month which showed SKY may turn to wholesaling the channel soon.

I suppose the good thing is that people are starting to see a bit of value before the next price increase is implemented. It looks like Virgin are listening to their customers, and reacting accordingly. It’s exciting times for you guys.
