Partly agree, I think there was also an element of having something -
anything - that neither of the other systems have (yet). vod will take a while to pay back as well. As I understand it from a post a while ago, it requires a substantial investment in equipment in each area, on top of the development cost. It's not guaranteed revenue, either; vod started here in Glasgow, and I think we've watched one item on it - and that was free!

Totally agree. Trouble is, if they say it'll be another year, that might scare away more customers than would have left otherwise.
