Chances of "Sky Mobile"?
Mark.
27-09-2007
As we all (probably) know, Sky and Virgin Media are battling out for subscribers.

One of the latter's strongest selling points is that they are quad-play, offering a mobile phone service as well as TV, landline and broadband. This could be what swings someone towards VM over Sky.

So, with them having already bought Easynet so they can offer broadband to their customers, could we see BSkyB make a play for one of the mobile phone networks? And if so, which would be the most likely?

Only kidding

I think it was a lot easier for Virgin, because they allready had an up and running network before the merger.

AFAIK James Murdoch Sky CEO has ruled out a mobile venture. I suspect he might reconsider when Ofcom frees up some 900MHZ spectrum for 3G use in 2010 though.

There is little chance of Sky launching their own network, once bitten twice shy

"One.Tel provided mobile, fixed-line, broadband and internet services to 1.8 million customers in Australia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands.

However they will most likely launch a Virtual network but I'd be unsure of which network they'd use. I'd say we're 3 years away.
