Ok, thanks. So because they were subsidizing video costs by selling out data.

That's what I meant when I said "cheaper" and he pushed back, but maybe that wasn't clear enough.

I'm curious if there's data for how much this was a factor, vs the traditional "giant company with deep pockets is willing to fund at a loss to grow market share" situation.

Either way, I probably understand what he meant now which is what I was after, thanks.
