The Sky satellite is gradually coming earthwards and will soon drop out of the orbit.
It will cost billions to replace so Sky can t be arsed
BT will then step in to be the dominant force in sports tv in a few years |  |

If you think Sky are going to crash and burn anytime soon then you are mentally insane. Their grip on British sport is as strong as ever. BT is just another rival that will come and go like Setanta and ITV Sport did! |  |

Everyone seems to have it in for Sky .... does no one not realize that the multi millions we receive for playing in the PL is down to Murdoch and his cronies.
If you think BT would charge any less if they had the same monopoly for beaming football into your lounge as Sky have at the moment, think your in for a shock.
The days of The Big match are long gone. |  | | |

World Cup on a subscription channel would be the straw on the camel's back for me (ironic, especially if they get the 2022 WC)
Wouldn't be surprised to see a sub for a designated single team for every match of the season soon, like they do in the US. |  |

BT are paying over the odds for sport as a loss leader to drive their broadband operations.
For all their talk of viewing figures, I'd wager most are receiving it free due to having BT broadband. No way that's a viable plan going forward long term... so it'll be another pay tv service. |  |

Their viewing figures aren't particularly impressive, they're getting less for their Prem games than ESPN were getting (although ESPN's games were in a better slot.
They won't get the World Cup because of the "Crown Jewels" thing. The Champions League is a big boost for them though but I still don't really expect them to challenge Sky in the long term. We'll be the losers by having to pay for more subscriptions. |  |

BT is here to stay it seems but the product hasn't improved and the customer will eventually bear the cost. Sky have royally p!ssed off BT by muscling in on the phone/broadband business and BT are happy to hemorrhage money for a few years to rattle them. | |

It s true mun,the guy from BT told me lol.
I recently changed from Sky to BT the full Monty and save about £50 per month,though I ve recently had to add itv4 and Skysports extra packages to watch when the Swans play as I can only make about 5 games a season at the moment due to work commitments .
theres a lot of Chinese Whispers in the industry about this...
Anyways,according to NASA EVERY satellite eventually goes out of orbit and is earthbound or goes off into space.....currently about one a week drops out,most of them burn up on re entry.
"What makes a satellite spin out of control and head toward Earth?
Every satellite is gradually falling back to Earth due to atmospheric drag and solar radiation pressure. Many operational spacecraft, like the International Space Station, must periodically make small maneuvers to return to their original altitudes. UARS was decommissioned in December 2005, and its altitude has been slowly decreasing ever since.

It may be true but you're original assertion is still bollocks. Most go into inclined orbit before they become space junk and disappear or burn up. They are still usable when inclined but they are not fixed and have to be tracked, which in itself is no big deal depending on application. In any case, they will be moved and another satellite will be moved into it's position before it falls out of the Sky. Also they are not 'Sky' satellites, they use the Astra fleet which many others use too. Stop talking bollocks and believing what the BT man tells you on this one. ;) :) | |
