I'd be amazed if BT offered their channel to any other pay TV platform on a deal like VM had with Setanta and ESPN however time will tell , BT has bought the football rights too primarily increase the amount of people taking triple play from them. A telephone/BB customer with Sky , Talk Talk , Orange etc still brings BT money as the supplier has to pay a set cost to Openreach each year for a fully Unbundled line , a subscriber with VM cable pays all their money to VM making BT nothing hence why BT is very interested in going after those customers.
