Yes let's play the waiting game. Cos none of us have been waiting up until now, let's all start to wait and see what happens. |
Lets look at it from both sides, BT have got this brand new product and has come into this with all the bells and whistles going and it has, of course got peoples attention. They want primarily to use this to get new phone and broadband customers, but if it steals some virgin and Sky customers, all the better great PR for BT.
Virgin on the other hand have dug a bit of a hole for themselves. They have now become associated with giving football away as 'free' with tv xl from when it was Setanta and then ESPN. Virgin now want it again with BT and of course BT are playing hardball. They will both end up losing, virgin would have eroded themselves the value of their top tier tv package if they can't get it, and BT will have to explain to shareholders why a potential 4-5 million extra viewers can't see their tv channels.
