Sky has become the latest outfit to be linked with a move to provide cheap or "free" broadband, according to the Guardian.

The satellite TV outfit is due to cut the ribbon on its broadband access service later this year following its £211m acquisition of ISP Easynet. With a phone and broadband service bolted on to its exiting TV operation, this would place it head-to-head with quad-play cableco NTL:Telewest, which is buying Virgin Mobile for £960m, and telco BT, which is launching its broadband TV service in autumn.
