If it were that easy we wouldn't have a graveyard of Sky-wannabes.

It's not as straightforward as they will "all switch". BT of course have their wholesale deal with Virgin Media, and subsidise from their telephony/broadband products.

Sports fans who enjoy some football, some golf, formula one, NFL, suddenly find themselves having to buy additional products.

They do not have infinite money - for some eventually choices have to be made.
