Entirely possible. Talks shrouded in secrecy have been ongoing for some time now, a decision to let VM wholesale BT Sports has been reached, but the sticking point is price.
From what I was told, VM could not have marketed BT Sports until launch as Bomber said, even if a deal had been struck.
However, as BT Sports did not appear today, it is now clear that an agreement had not been reached and talk of it starting from launch were a tad premature.
I remember a similar situation with a football club channel (can't remember which one, it was possibly Arsenal or Liverpool).
