BSkyB hits 10 million customer target
BSkyB, which provides pay-TV, broadband and telephony, set the target in 2004, to initial scepticism from analysts who thought it would be too tough.
"To be the choice of 10 million families is a big achievement for the whole team at Sky," Chief Executive Jeremy Darroch said in a statement.

BSkyB is in the middle of a possible takeover after its major shareholder News Corp offered to buy the 61 per cent of the company it does not already own.
British communications regulator Ofcom last week invited comments on the proposed acquisition by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp as it examines whether the proposed 7.8bn takeover would be against the British public interest.
