This isn't the same thing, it's not even close. There's a big difference between content and infrastructure. A true comparison would be Sky making HBO content exclusive to on their tv platform and VM making YouTube content exclusive to their broadband platform.
The broadband speeds available on VM are the reward for their investment in infrastructure. Buying up exclusive content rights from third parties isn't very innovative. I don't think these discussions would even take place if Sky had adopted an innovative approach, produced the content themselves and retained the exclusive rights to it for their platform.
