			Well the VM Infrastructure can be opened up when the government takes on its debts for the investment. Then VM and BT can be on a level playing field. 
The current FTTC investment also includes government subsidiary/incentive I believe, e.g. BDUK Rural Broadband, trouble is there is only BT left now after Fujitsu withdrew. Couple of useful articles below although this is in danger of getting away from what this thread is about.

			Due to last week takeover of Smallworld by Virgin Media I am looking for an up-to-date channel EPG for Smallworld for my Blog (One I have right is from 2013.) 
 
If you can help - PM me.

			Not been on the forum for a few weeks, so just trawled through pages of posts. 
As far as I can see all that has happened is...... 
Some channel called Weetabix TV to launch via the red button. 
Have I missed anything?

 Whilst MB may not have anything up his sleeve right this minute, theone2k10 has been forthcoming with some titbits, the most recent of which was the likelihood of LoveFilm coming in the summer.

 I do have something up my sleeve but I cant reveal it - yet.
 
All I can say is - an channel that broadcasts on Virgin and Sky will soon close.

 Sorry, I was thinking more of a channel/on-demand service coming soon, not a channel closing soon.
