Ridiculous original post on this thread. I don't claim to have any insight into the amount of money VM invests in the difference services it provides, but it must be apparent to most that they've invested significant amounts in the TV side this year.
If the OP is talking specifically about channel content, then VM said some time back that they did not plan to compete with Sky in that game and was concentrating on sorting out the operational side of TV and class-leading broadband. This is a company supporting considerable debt that has to make investments where it can secure the best return. I think Berkett and co had a strong 2010 and this year looks just as good. Some folk seem to just want more and more and more, never appreciating what they have (best in class broadband and VoD for a start).
