It`s all up in the air at the moment so for now I just keep waiting.
It will depend on how much BT values the amount it receives upfront from VM and whether it wishes to try and tap it for a few pound more or go it alone and insist a skysports model ie Money collected by VM but passed in full (or thereabouts) to BT. The danger in teh alter is there would be no turning back and could potentially lose more than they gain as it would rely on a good % of people who currently receive to continue to subscribe as a standalone.

I think nothing is off the table till the last minute where all the data is available which is typical for familar faces of this forum but given the stakes involved could be a game changer for both parties
