If that link is even real, then I would assume that BT have agreed with VM that they can't sell it below a certain price or offer it within a bundle.

It kind of suits both parties. VM don't have to pay a certain cost per subscriber and potentially lose money and only those who really want it will pay for it themselves and then VM can still market it that BT sports is available to them as apposed to not.

BT then also get better exposure, the revenue direct and Ofcom won't be breathing down their necks either.

Quite a few FM's on a rival site are very pessimistic about this deal. It seems a lot don't think the link is genuine - as the link can't actually be found on VM's website?!
