There is nothing in the quote which says “We will deliver 80 HD channels” or “We plan to have 80 HD channels”. The quote simply suggests they have a path to grow to 80 HD channels, and nothing more than that. I don’t see that as any kind or promise, pledge or solid commitment.

If people are taking that as some for of guarantee, they better be ready to be disappointed. I don't think there will even be 80 HD channels broadcasting by December 2013.
Companies are like Politicians in that they depend on vague statements to make themselves sound good while not providing anything specific enough but the reality is that anybody can make this kind of statement without any fear of being caught in a lie.
