Why the hell should NTL and Telewest open up their networks to BT? NTL and Telewests networks were built from Private Sector money, BTs network was scrounged off the Tax payer under the days of the GPO and sold 'on the cheap' in 1984 to BT. Personally I dont ever think a Public Funded Network should have been given to a Private company.........and its damn right that people should be able to choose other providers on BT especially when you consider 50%+ of the country would have no alternative were it not for CPS or Indirect providers.

I cant see NTL being too bothered really, if customers are using NTL Broadband, they are paying for NTL Broadband, im not to sure they would be that concerned about spin offs from BT
