It wouldn't make that much sense to VM, there's not much money to be made from adding FTA channels promoting premium rate "chatlines". Although adding addition adult subscription channels would bring in subscription revenue. It's all just speculation at the moment.
I think sky gets a percentage of all calls for having the channels I heard
