I think it obvious now that everybody is of the thinking that not only do you need to own the network, but you also need to own the content.

This is happening both ways.

VM, network owner, no investing in content.

Google and Facebook, content owners, now building their own fibre networks. You can probably also add sky to that. They own their own backbone fibre network, but now they're building their own fibre access network with City fibre (although google are trying to hijack that deal)
