There is no reason why ntl could not rent out their connections to people's houses to offer, say, a phone line through BT or Talk Talk or a TV package via Sky.

Maybe this is the solution that ntl need - someone comes in, buys all the wires, gets ntl out of debt - then makes their money back from the various package providers.
What you fail to realise is NTL own the network thats why! How would you feel if you bought a piece of land, built a house on that piece of land and then the local council said "Youve got to share this house with 4 other people because they are homeless but dont worry they will pay you £1 a week rent.
