A Sky customer is a Sky customer, regardless of delivery method. In the longer term Sky will have plans, but whether Italian broadband infrastructure is up to it
today is unknown.
There’s no rational reason for Sky
not to offer UHD if the infrastructure is up to it. The reality is that it’s not, and they don’t want the reputational risk that will go along with deploying an untested product.

That is easily overcome by ensuring that only customers with a specified broadband connection are accepted to take UHD. Isn't that what Virgin do now for customers with a V6?

100 meg? Yeah they could do that, and see how many potential customers they rule out in the process.
