That's why 'free' was in inverted commas. You know the point I was making.
I know the point you were making but it’s entirely invalid. The BBC is a multi-billion pound broadcaster. You don’t seriously expect the entertainment channels in a Sky/Virgin package to compete, do you? Unless you completely misunderstand the market of course.

Which, as you know, is entirely irrelevant. They have advertising income far in excess of the pay-tv income of everyone bar Sky and BT.

You can’t just start broadcasting and suddenly command the advertising income of ITV then get some subscription revenue as the cream on top.
