Perhaps that's the background to why Sky went in to BB. ;)
Can't see it happening with BB to be honest - perhaps a couple of the big boys might go down that route, but the first one that does will just lose so many customers overnight - and I can't see them all acting together on it. Besides which, in the world of BB there will always be your IDNet type companies imo.
All this must make the guy that thought up the internet in the first place turn in his Ferrari!! :eek4:
