Surely the Monopolies & Mergers Commision would have something to say about that!

Rorschach.
Not really as they effectively already have monopolies in the franchise areas they own. It just means that for TV you will either go with sky,NTelewestL,Freeview. For Telephone/Internet there are a raft of companies out there.

But there will still be two cable companies in the UK NTelewestL and Wight Cable (Wight Cable North)
