To me, the issues would include:

- How much does VM get for hosting the app?
- Who pays for advertising that VM has the app?
- How prominent is the app?
- What guarantees are there for ongoing development? (To avoid situations like the recent YouTube and iPlayer ones)
- Can a parallel deal be done for other LibertyGlobal countries at the same time?
- Any exclusitivity deals in place with other providers like FilmFlex that would have to be renegotiated?
- Tivo film search results may bring up the same on FilmFlex/Virgin Movies and on Amazon Prime. VM and FilmFlex could lose income in such situations. Can this be addressed or not?

If Netflix can arrive on Virgin Media then why can't Amazon Prime as they are both streaming services in my book so l can't see why they have not reached a deal yet Andrew as it would be the same type of deal as the Netflix you would suspect.
