Scalable infrastructure
41.2 44.5
Upgrade / rebuild
23.6 23.5
Looks to me like he's including all capital expenditure, including CPE and leased property, in his numbers.

They had to. A lot of it was one-way only, amps dangling off the side of houses, it looked more like the Rediffusion cable build than a modern HFC network and had no fibre in most of it at all. The business case was to be able to sell digital TV, 2-way services and telephony. There is no business case to spend as much on VM's network.
