Sky did remove their channels from VM anout ten years ago. It would probably be viewed as anti competitive if they just removed them for no good reason, but asking for unreasonably high carriage costs to try to damage a competitor is another matter...

I remember posting a thread about it at the time to alert people to the fact that Sky Sports was no longer regulated and could, in theory, be removed from VM.
I've no idea about the situation with the premium Sky movie channels though.

It used to be the case that if was cheaper to get a phone line with BB (even if you never plugged it in!)
However, when a family member dropped the phone, he saved something like two of three pounds a month, so I think this must have changed.
