Virgin is a closed network so the only way to do deal with Virgin is by wholesale, if it wasn't then BT would have gone the same route as they did with Sky, and it would have been on Virgin a lot earlier.
Nothing to do with Sky it is all down to BT, Sky wanted to wholesale the channel, if BT agreed to this, you probably wouldn't be having the situation with regards to Sky Sports on BT, which Sky is playing hardball over.
