It's a business decision fair and square to ensure that existing customers don't consider leaving to go to Sky and new customers consider VM if they are interested in the World Cup in HD.

I was talking from a technical point of view, not from a business view... money has been spent upgrading some soon to be defunct headends, if it wasn't for the World Cup, I don't think they would have done that.
