It is good that they gave new technology a chance, but investing in new technology that failed to take off was a business mistake. The knack is to foresee what will be successful and what won't be in the future.
Instead of admitting this (and everybody makes bad decisions at times), they seem to be trying to discreetly rid themselves of the 3D channel by stealth.
Firstly, they tell VM that it is not up for carriage negotiation (even though Sky have tried unsuccessfully to increase it's viewing figures), then it is reduced to a part time channel and then we learn about the cessation of football coverage.
