Well that's a whole nother thread, but just cuz NTL is a business doesnt mean they can shirt their social responsibilities too. Banks and shops are businesses too but with the disability discrimination act they have to make shops wheel chair accessable.

NTL, TELEWEST and sky are monopoly (sp?) suppliers of the media, are should not be using the economic argument to support the non showing of minority broadcasts.
