What knowledge is this?
You're quite out of date. In its previous incarnation HomeChoice was anything but viable, losing astounding amounts of money on each subscriber (they actually charged less than BT charged them). HomeChoice Mk II has a markedly different business model based on local loop unbundling. This radically lowers their capital costs. It has been repeatedly mentioned in the press that they expect to break even at around 100,000 customers - not a huge number.
there were more details of their busines in the Independent this morning there was also an article in an internet newsletter which is also quoted.
