Re: STM
STM is a step backwards. VM should be trying to move forwards, i.e. by making their services better, not worse.
They could make a fortune if they just had the balls to go for it. Scrap STM, start heavily promoting iPlayer/ITVplayer/C4OD etc and set up an online movie download service. Work on getting caching of popular services (like iPlayer) up and running to reduce external bandwidth costs, rather than just reducing the service.
The problem is that VM don't have much competition in the area of broadband. Most people either have it because they alraedy have the TV/phone (so either can't get ADSL or VM is cheaper anyway) or they want a high download speed but live more than two doors down from the exchange.
