Sky have been using the backhaul part of Virgin's network since last year (for a price) so Virgin aren't totally hogging their infrastructure for their own customers and technically are sharing it with others....so long as the "others" meet the price.
Until Sky see advertising revenue from Atlantic as more important than it being exclusive to Sky customers then we aren't going to see it.
In my eyes Now TV is a suitable alternative as I can see Game of Thrones without a Sky subscription for less than it would cost to buy the DVDs next year and when Game of Thrones is finished I don't have a monthly subscription to maintain.
