"The increasing use of Over The Top (OTT) services such as Netflix and Amazon Instant Video hasn’t escaped their notice. Apparently, it is causing disquiet at industry conferences with its "core shaving" impact on earnings from operator offerings"

I guess with all that backwards-compatibility cablecos like Virgin will never be able to be quite "dumb pipes", but there's a reason these OTT services are getting popular, and I suspect it's because the cablecos' TV and VoD services just aren't up to scratch.
