I guess I am struggling here because I find it hard to believe that the statements I made are not 'self evident'.

Does anyone here really doubt that the cost of cable modems, networking equipment and computer hardware has not fallen over say the last 5 years?

Does anyone here really doubt that NTL's interest payments have not reduced massively since comming out of bankrupcy?

As to the cost of bandwidth I could produce endless studies of the falling cost of bandwith. Here is just one that I found by searching 'cost of bandwidth' on google. I do not know it's providence but the graph it shows is in line with everything I understood so far from people than know and from 6+ years of doing my best to understand these things.

As to staff costs I did put in a presumably. I guess someone could if they could be botherd dig out company accounts and see what the staff costs are for say last 5 years. It seems unlikely to me however, in absense of such research, that staff costs are going up, against a background of continual redundancies and outsourcing, but I guess I could be wrong on this one and would be happy to reconsider if anyone wants to produce evidence to the contrary.
