I don't fail to realise this, but it is only the same as BT owning its network - rather than your analogy of someone owning a house - which doesn't really make much sense in this context.

I'm not saying that ntl should have their lines taken away from them, what I have said for a long time is that for true competition and customer choice it would be the best solution if one company owned the lines and you could then chose who you got your content from.

This would open up the market to some interesting competition, and it would be the customer who benefitted long-term - which I'm all for.
