I only hope with the likes of Sky, BT and hopefully others launching fibre broadband this year they'll also pump tv down the wires so that we have a choice of cable tv providers too rather than just one.

Sky's satellite service is great until a storm arrives... I want a choice of "wired" tv providers in the same way that there is a massive choice in ISPS. Plus with Freeview finally going it "alone" in London this year with the analogue signals axed, they'll finally be a decent signal coming through the aerials too.

Choice is good, isn't it?

Sky are and always have been very aggresive, I wonder if they'll take the fight to VM and launch a full blown cable tv (IPTV) service to compete against VM. They can only do that on stable fibre lines.

I don't think Sky's fibre service is so much to do with broadband as it is to do with offering their tv service via a different delivery method.
