How do you know for sure? If BT retail it properly and bundle it with their Infinity and phone why wouldn't people move? I am seriously considering moving if the price is right and I am not going to be the only one.
Why would BT invest over a billion pound in to this channel and then allow Virgin to give it away in their top pack which would cause Youview/btv to become a weaker service? That wouldn't make sense.
The whole point of doing this deal is strengthen their own triple play offering and BT have stated so themselves.
By the way BT CAN afford to do it. They make £2bn profit a year.
