Sky, Virgin Media End Channel Dispute, Ink Carriage Deals

This deal comes at a critical time, as one report “TV 2.0: The Consumer Perspective” by Parks Associates, expects cable TV providers likely will lose significant numbers of customers to satellite TV and IPTV if they don’t improve their services.
