Although VM didn't charge extra for BT Sports, the unexpected discount for those on top package has identified the perceived cost of BT Sports.

Those who don't watch it now have an identifiable amount and an expectation of being able to obtain a discount for the future.

VM have obviously opened up a huge can of worms.

If they offer a discount (and remove BT Sports) for those on the top packages they are likely to also face calls for discounts from others who want unwatched channels removed (for instance children's, documentaries etc)

Is this going to be the end of packages as we know them?
