But they wouldn’t get the standalone price in a package - they’d get a wholesale price. Almost proving my point there’s little appetite for standalone offerings if they’re relying on existing providers for the vast majority of income/viewers.

I’ve never said it won’t be widespread practice, just that the idea of everyone being better off paying £6 here and £8 there for a handful of services as opposed to TV XL or Sky Box Sets is flawed.
We get that you object to Virgin paying tiny amounts of your subscription to third parties for channels you don’t watch.
It’s on the face of it a straightforward argument, a win for everyone, only pay for what you watch. However it ignores the power of platforms to drive down prices.
