....I doubt very much VM will remove any more channels, if they did there wouldn't be many left! But, with the IPTV technology this gives VM the option to change the way the tv channels are delivered to us.

Currently all tv channels are broadcast to everyone, a bit like how water, gas and electricity is distributed to all. But with IPTV, the broadcast of channels can be stopped and channels can be sent via on demand. To be clear, what the customer sees is the same, just the way it's distributed to the customer may change eventually.
