if you think virgin are going to be paying anything anywhere near that for each unit they have to order you are in a dream world.
the real reason vrirgin are hamstrung is debt repayments while trying to turn a profit for shareholders.
the real problems are being created by the profits not being ploughed back in fast enough to the business to really make Virgin a powerful leader in this industry.
The potential for Cable TV and internet is phenomenal and what we are seeing is a shadow of what is possible.
