BT did something similar a few years back with OnLive. It was a really good idea - they promoted OnLive with free memberships for three months and no extra tarrifs on OnLive data traffic during that time (i.e. It didn't count towards monthly download limits). BT also owned a stake in Onlive, but then Onlive 'restructured' and essentially BTs investment went out the window, so no further partnership. A shame, because it seemed like a great idea for both companies.
Given that anytime in the past VM have "partnered" with someone to "improve" a streaming service they've made a hash of it and ended up with a service worse than that over a 3G mobile phone.
