Indeed it might.

I do agree, it does appear that BT want to harvest VM customer details.

I doubt there's many who'd sign up for 12 months at £12p/m and if people could sign on a monthly basis they'd probably only do it for the games they wanted to watch then cancel.
At this stage I don't believe that money is the priority for BT.

I once thought that this would never happen, but as 3D has not really taken off and Sky have now made Sky 3D partially available to more of their own customers to increase viewers, it wouldn't surprise me if Sky 3D appeared on VM.

VM now appear to be the only company interested in expanding 3D, possibly hoping to capitalise on a niche market by mopping up all those interested in it from other providors.
