I think we're probably just talking about a difference in definitions. When Vince talked about an open platform, he/she was talking about open in the context of FTA channels being able to launch on it without negotiating directly with VM. Your definition of open refers to the channels being FTA, unencrypted and being able to be received by what sound like standard DVB-C TV receivers. (as oppose to DVB-T for terrestial and DVB-S for satellite).

I think there's been some discussions around this area in the past, I believe in some areas it can be done with a standard DVB-C TV receiver but that it is against the VM T&Cs (though if you don't have a contract with them then it is probably a moot point!).
