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.
Wasn't there talk of AOL using NTLs cables for their own broadband offering...

Did that ever happen - or was it just another idea that NTL decided wasn't profitable enough for them ?
