Introduction
Virgin Media is taking a holistic and long-term approach to how it delivers video and ensures quality of service (QoS) for its triple-play (and eventually quad-play) customers. It’s strategy is based on the fact that it can guarantee QoS for multiple video channels due to its ability to provide dedicated channels through both broadband and TV spectrum.
Features and benefits
Virgin Media’s next-generation access strategy is a long-term play driven by its three goals (developing a video centric-delivery network, offering higher broadband speeds, and reducing costs), but it is anchored in the reality of its market position and trends in consumer usage.
