Re: Guardian: "Sky Atlantic won't be on Virgin Media soon, says BSkyB boss"

We are heading for a situation where we will have Sky offering market-leading linear TV and adequate broadband, and VM offering adequate TV and market-leading broadband. And because VM has known for some time that this would be the case, it has been developing ways to capitalise on the market-leading broadband side of its business rather than the linear TV side.

To that end it has sold its own TV channels and it continues to refuse to pay whatever price Sky demands just to get the latest line-up of over-hyped American imports. It knows that its VOD and broadband products are better than Sky's and will continue to be so even after Sky is able to start offering up to 40meg. That is why it's now advertising itself as providing unbeatable connectivity rather than bragging about the channels you can watch on its service.

Are you serious? Since when were we comparing available speed on one network with the speed subscribers choose on another network? Is there any chance of you making up your mind which statistic you want to choose to back up your point?

I'm beginning to think you don't actually have a clue what we're talking about here.
