It wasn't to this extent and the notion that venture capital or Silicon Valley would throw money down the toilet in the way they have with streaming services is fanciful.

It does not matter to the consumer if a business is not currently making a profit. Virgin Media has been in debt most of its life since its inception, hasn’t it?

Your failure to understand that undermines your entire argument.
