Re: Picnic Broadband?

Still the PM's and emails come in, as well as other sources, Picnic Broadband is go......

If this doesn't happen now, I would be very surprised. Never has a rumour that we have posted on here, been confirmed by so many sources, who we know, work at Sky.

Sky... If we put together some questions can you answer them?

Re: Picnic Broadband?

You would think Sky would put in a request to trademark the marked text 'picnic broadband' or something wouldn't you?

Like what they did for Skycast.

This hasn't happened yet.
