Genuine question? Where are you guys seeing that VM is giving up on tv in that article? He seems to be saying that instead of focusing all resources on competing with Sky on just tv they are going to focus on broadband, and mobile as well as tv. It's not even new. He said something similar a couple of years ago.
He also went on to say.

Customers will have access to 4,600 hours of films and TV programmes, alongside millions of YouTube clips, not to mention the ability to search for content as if visiting Google rather than scrolling through the conventional programming guide. Viewers will also be able to play video games or chat to their friends on Facebook, while watching TV.

I haven't seen anywhere that VM are going to stop adding stuff to the tv platform. I'm not trying to say that some of the criticism of VM isn't justified for being slow to add stuff but they are still adding stuff and if they were to give up on tv it would be commercial suicide. It aint going to happen.
