I don't think Vodaphone have any plans for TV anyway. As far as Coventry City Council and the business community are concerned, this is all about broadband. The residential customer will have an interesting choice though.

The residential customer may want the potential for a symmetrical connection of up to 1Gb, but also top-notch TV. In my case I would want a Virgin or Sky TV package, but without the broadband. It will be interesting what Virgin and Sky do to combat or assimilate with this kind of demand.
