So no wonder BT decided to try and take control back and buy content for themselves and then withhold it from SKY. At least they have bargaining chips now. It took bargaining chips for Virgin to get first the SKY basic channels back and then all the sport in HD, i.e sale of UK TV stake and deal over cable network.
As to your statement, you can't really count Ultra HD when no other competitor currently has a means to distribute it yet. SKY are launching a new box in the coming months, but VM I imagine will be last to the party.

But they don't wholesale to Talk Talk either another of their competitors who use the Openreach network for their Broadband service , they aren't involved in the content war.
