Re: merger even closer??

When I was involved in building cable networks that option was sugested several times as a cost effective solution to installing hard to reach places without having to dig.

Unfortunately although cable companies have licences to dig the roads up, they do not have licences to place cables overhead. In the manner you Suggest.

Some cable companies like ntl, Energis and Surf do have trunk fibre wrapped around the earth wires on the top of the electricity pylons. This was once hailed as a cost effective way of building the network but now 10years on these installations are now fraught with problems in some areas.
