Your post was fair enough Grim. All businesses operate in the same way. Waitrose stock an exclusive tomato variety (Red Choice and it is delicious) and have recently had a 6 month exclusivity contract for Warburtons (the bread makers) new cake range too. I am sure all other supermarkets have similar arragements with many different suppliers. Debenhams have clothing manufacturers I have only ever seen in Debenhams and nowhere else. VM could just as easily give away their broadband, but why should they? VM could also get an exclusive channel for content from another country, but they don't want to go into content.
Whilst I am not the biggest Sky fan, they do know how to run a business effectively and extract the maximum amount profit they can. The fact they have been so successful for so long goes in some very minor way to substantiating that point.
