You are making the mistake of confusing speed with bandwidth. Sky can support widespread use of IPTV because they do have the bandwidth. VM won't be able to because they don't have sufficient bandwidth at node level to do so. Most IPstream based ISPs won't be able to support it either because it won't be economic to do so given the BTw charging structure.

Unles YouView pay the ISPs for the bandwidth their service will require they simply won't get it and it will be them that fails not the ISPs.
