| 40m IPTV households expected worldwide by 2010
BSkyB chief executive James Murdoch has revealed that the group is developing a "hybrid" media model using its satellite and digital terrestrial platforms to allow subscribers to access content seamlessly from TVs, PCs or mobiles. In an FT.com interview, Murdoch also rejected claims that his aggressive strategy had exposed it to possible regulatory punishment, saying: "When we go out there and we say we're going to challenge some of those big incumbent telecoms companies who've been charging too much money for too little to too many customers for way too long, we think that's good for customers. Ultimately, we think that really matters from a regulatory perspective as well. Our customers [are] free agents in this."

At a business forum last fall, Virginia transportation secretary Pierce Homer was asked by someone in attendance if the state "had a plan B" if the FTA didn't come up with the $900 million. Homer laughed and simply replied, "No." Business leaders in Northern Virginia have called the Metrorail project a crucial piece of the region's future economic success. Some expressed frustration with Simpson's letter. "It is extremely disappointing that, while acknowledging the critical need for mass transit in this corridor, the federal commitment falls so far short," said Bill Lecos, president and CEO of the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce.
