Sky and BT would not be allowed to collude by the Competition and Markets Authority so that won't happen. VM's argument is that its channels like Bravo did not win it subscribers, so investing the money instead on buying Smallworld and laying cable wins them more customers.
In the future, with Netflix and Amazon fighting aggressively for content against Sky, owning a great broadband network might just be the wiser choice. In LGI's eyes.
