Did think of that can see where the port bit comes into it but not the sky piece of the clue

USB = Universal Serial Bus
Could "sky" obliquely refer to the universe.
A bit tenuous IMO but all I can think of.

Looks like it will have to be USB for now because I am completely stumped for any other answer.
Anyone any ideas for an answer to Q3 please

U what?


The only distantly qualifying answers I can come up with are both US spelling;

unequaled
unrivaled

With the first there are 2 u's (university union); with the second there is a 4 in "IV" which is as relevant as the weather in Ulan Bator today - but they are the only contenders I could find!

sorry

Even less of a U-reka moment;

"sounds like a sky" could be "azure" = as URE which might be a port somewhere, maybe ancient Greece??

Any takers?

Re 1- Sky is actually BSkyB Limited or BSB so USB might make sense?
