This is talking about the previous rebrand in 2008:

ITV said that in branding and marketing communication around programming intended for consumption across the UK, as in the case of the BT Vision deal, the online TV player will be branded as "ITV Net Player" and referred to as the "ITV Network Player".
So even then, the naming came from ITV themselves, it wasn't a VM decision.
