Nope. All that proves is that VM wasn't prepared to screen HD channels at just any price*. As they don't own any HD channels themselves, they have always been at the mercy of those that do. And those that do, used them to hoover up the early adopters.

*Or possibly, it proves that those channels simply weren't for sale or rent, until Sky was forced to/no longer saw any benefit in exclusivity.
