Has anyone seem the Q1 churn figures, any idea when they get published? |
The Freesat launch can't be good news for VM either, particularly the no-contract route into HDTV at a time when people might be reluctant to commit to highish monthly payments.
On the flip side, the launch of VM i-player, delivered by the TV-on-demand infrastructure, would take pressure off the BB network, relative to other ISP's.
No wonder they are sitting on the fence, but I hope last weeks announcement is due to increased churn. The number of people threatening to leave if Phorm happens must be much larger than the number who have already gone.
