Gooseybhai: How do you come to this conclusion that there would be a lack of financial scale for progression due to one company selling their stake of shares?
really? Companies aquire and sell shares daily. Newscorp is selling their stake and others will buy their shares that are up for sale.

I'm not so sure about that - TCL has simply been more localised in its advertising - billboards, bus stops - which makes sense given the specific areas covered by its HFC network. Vodafone does more nationwide advertising - TV ads and whatnot.
That said, if VF can launch the T-Box nationwide (IPTV?) then they will have Sky quaking in their boots, as it will be the first nationwide, triple/quad-play service (that isnt some clumsy reseller billing agreeement ala Sky-Telecom)
I do wonder if this withdrawal will limit funding/innovation from Sky - right at the time when they need to be innovative - and prevent/delay their move to an IPTV platform - which is an inevitable development in the VF/TCL corner.

Gooseybhai: One would imagine these links between the companies NewsCorp own independantly would still exist with the form an SLA that potentially already exisits between them. Your potentially saying the board of SKYTV havent considered this at all ? What kind of share value would this present to prospective buyers if your assumptions prove to be true? IMHO I doubt SKYTV will suffer at all and perhaps welcome new buyers/capital with an open door.

I though that TCL's pay TV offering was just a resale of sky compared to what it was like when it was Saturn..

DS9: When News Corp owned 44% of SKY TV it had a company that owned BSKYB,Foxtel,SKYitalia e.t.c. (that is one powerhouse of technical innovation) behind it, now they have exited SKY TV, SKY now have to pay for or try to produce their future technical products independently.
