That's it though, it is a company, it is here to make money and it cannot do that on dtv which is why the phone line is "bundled" in with it. What's the point of a company existing if they don;t make money?
Are you serious - NTL cannot turn a profit on DTV? Whats that about? So only phone call contribution and BB provision are profit generating services they offer. Do Sky really charge them that much for programming access? They pass the increases straight on (well once they have had time to process them).

I wonder what level of penetration the DTV product needs to make money? Or does the supply of complimentary boxes mean it never will!
