Surely that means they will have more clout in attracting broadcasters to their platform?

BT will have an advantage over Sky and TalkTalk as my understanding is that access to its fibre network is not price regulated whereas its ADSL network is price regulated. Whether VM decides to use BT's fibre network is an unknown, at the moment it no longer sells an ADSL product. It would seem a logical thing to do but it does confuse the offering slightly.
