Yes, they are only forced to allow anyone who wants an EPG number to be offered one.

Sky don't own any satellites, so the broadcasters go to the satellite owners (Astra or Eutelsat) to lease capacity. (This for other members, who don't know how things work with satellite or think Sky own satellites etc)

Hence BT are bypassing Sky for everything except for EPG slots.
