Surely that means they will have more clout in attracting broadcasters to their platform?
I hadn't considered that VM would also be a competitor on BT's network - would they though? I know they provide ADSL on BT's copper network. As mentioned before by others, it does come across as double-standards that VM don't open up their network for fair competition. Perhaps the national fibre roll-out is the reason they won't be forced to.
