There's no press release or anything like that. It was in an internal presentation given to me.

That said 50,000 homes per year is nothing to be sniffed about by those lucky few that might get it but it's a very small number and would probably only make areas a bit more consistent.

Ceratainly 50,000 more than at present and a sign that VM is moving forward.

VOIP off cable would be ridiculous. Why would cable launch such a product when they make such lavish amounts of money on their phone products (especially the basic ones). Doubt they'd do it.

VOIP is on the cards, which is why VM have outsourced the operation of there legacy switches to BT, so we can focus on delivering VOIP. Although the project has been pushed back.
IPTV is also an ongoing project

Bare in mind NTL/Virgin Media have had to intergrate all of these franchises:
Nynex
Videotron
BT cable franchises
Telecential
Bell Cable Media
East Coast Cable
Comcast
Diamond Cable
Telewest:
General Cable
Cable London
Birmingham Cable
North West Cable
Yorkshire Cable
Eurobell South West (Devon Cable Media)
Eurobell South East (South Downs Cable)
Telewest orginal areas(United Artists)
