I can't see Ofcom forcing SKY to offer SKY Sports on Youview unless it is proven that BT have actually tried to wholesale their channels to SKY in return at a reasonable rate.
I agree that BT are in this for the long haul. I was reading today they have signed up 10,000 commercial customers so far at a rate of between £75.00 to £125.00 per month. BT have also made their channels available in Ireland via Setanta Sports.
I just can't see this being the loss making exercise everyone thinks it will be. I think BT will be aggressive when the Champions League rights become available for bidding in the next couple of months. Who knows, maybe the money from Virgin will help them see off bids from SKY?
