But as said, the story comes around every few years and nothing comes of it. Having their own network gives VM a major advantage over Sky and other competitors and I doubt they will relinquish that advantage any time soon.

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 predicted back in April that Sky and VM would get into bed with each other in some way and it looks like it's happening. Perhaps this move is a stepping stone to Comcast taking full control of VM and eventually offloading its satellite business, minus its 10 million customers which it will try and migrate over to cable/FTTP.
