Re: Sky to supply BB?
I wondered when someone would post this 
Personally I think it'd be good for the UK broadband industry.
It should drive competition and pass on increasing reductions in cost.
The conveinience of getting all your services together is nice too, so I'm sure lots of people will welcome the move.

Re: Sky to supply BB?
This wouldn't be massive new territory, Sky did do (not sure if they do now) a discoounted phone calls system, and dial up internet services.

Re: Sky to supply BB?
I wonder who does their IDA/CPS offering (SkyTalk), which Rob referred to? It might make sense for them to buy that company, depending on its size.

not much point really, would cost a fortune or be slower than the downstream you'd get on the ADSL connection.

Re: Sky to supply BB?
if LLU didn't exist then I suspect they would have attempted to takeover BT instead of LLU company.
