Personally, I think it will be a standalone package on VM and Sky and maybe included on BT to drive up BT's TV/Phone/BB packages takeup.
But as a potential counter to your argument, If BT insist on £16 and that price puts so many people off that hardly anyone subscribes, BT could be better off accepting a payment from VM of, say, £4 per XL customer. BT then have a guaranteed income from VM which
could be more than a few people paying £16 per month, which will fluxuate monthly, assuming that it is a minimum 30 day contract like Sky Premium channels.
Haven't a clue what the real figures would be, just for example purposes.
