I been given this some thought while reading this thread.

Could Virgin charge those to sign up who get it from there own source method. I have used a internet radio software which you purchase a contract yearly and permits you download songs you like.

Another thought is this why dont virgin run a P2p service which then has a centrally stored data which can be increased by partisipating companies artist and even tied with VOD online service so TV series and ultimately films go on it.

Anybody signing up will be able to share between its users these files but user will not be able to upload own stuff to to stop piracy issues.

People will be able download store this files on medium to watch wherever. So it would useful for those with media centre could put favourates stuff to take on holiday to watch. We could even have a way to watch your Virgin media tv package subscribed on the net like sky do. But this needs a new idea as an wifi setup in the country so you could use your internet service wherever in the country via virgin wifi hotspots.

If done properly this could open so much to its customers.
