Why would you say that?

If the choice were that or not getting it all, what would you prefer? As a customer you at least then have free choice between all three platforms, and can do the sums according to what meets your needs.

Not having any particular interest in PL football, I don't see subsidising this out of XL subs beyond the level of ESPN as being any sort of priority when there are still other things missing from the package. If BT started showing other sports we were interested in, maybe we might choose to pay.

It is important for the VM platform that customers have as full as possible a choice of content - that doesn't mean everybody has to subsidise providing premium content 'free', however slick a marketing ploy this might seem to be.
