Unfortunately you'll only be able to read the full article if you subscribe to The Times
Well there's our answer to the OP.

I, personally, wouldn't pay extra to receive them. That'd be the spur i needed to run a cable to the living room for Freeview and ditch VM tv and phone.

I wish they'd hurry up if they're going to do it, i'd save a stack of cash.

Ok, found a story on it from last December. I think the transmission fees that ITV and BBC pay to sky were significantly reduced this year and may disappear altogether. ITV want to swing it the other way, as per the Times article.
