No one is arguing that;
but, if the other parties don't want to play ball, what can VM do? Also, some services may not be in VM's interest. With more people cord cutting, there could be a sizeable number of people deciding to cut TV to M and use the online services.
At the time of the Netflix addition, cord cutting was a relatively unknown term in the UK. And although it is more well known now, it is probably far from being on the 'to do' list of the vast majority of people, So services such as Amazon may arrive on Tivo. But VM must be looking at future trends in these decisions and trying to estimate the growth rate of those that will cut the cord and at what point in the future, that number will be significant enough to affect it's pay TV offering.
