If they do this though, maybe VM will again* tie it in with access to the missing Sky channels from their TV service, namely Sky Atlantic.
* In the past they negotiated the supply of many missing channels in return for selling their own channels to Sky.

That should be on the cards anyway, given the announcement by Sky in relation to the BT deal last year.

I see the cable cos sold off by LG to Vodafone (which gets cleared soon by the European Commission) as the warm up act to come.
Why not?
Comcast is a cable company, by nature.

I don't think it would get through the Competition Commission, Horizon.
