Default HD - Why so slow?

Just signed up for HD for Sky..... www.sky.com/hd

Question why has it taken Europe and especially the UK so long to get things moving especially with even Australia having it on board already?

No money in it for the Government?
They always overcharge us in the UK, so there is no money left?
New technology alweays cost over the odds here?
We are often last to actually GET new technology?

Perm any two from the above, but my bet's on the first

Probably because Sky et al want to wring every single last penny out of their current technology.
