Sky didn't have to cable up street after street, they just lease capacity on a few satellites along with other broadcasters.

There are many people who don't want to pay for subscription TV, I know many people who are happy with just Freeview and were happy with just the 5 channels before they had no choice but to have Freeview if they wanted to keep watching TV. A few others I know are happy with just Freesat.
