This isn't a personal thing for your amusement people's jobs could be threatened over this if ntl and Crown Castle are forced to spend a load of money so that others can take their business off them.
Glad that entertains you so much. Personally I think it's horrid, and no doubt any ntl:Broadcast people who may have their careers threatened if Ofcom decide to chop into the margins of a future owner or ntl:Broadcast themselves wouldn't be overly amused either.
Here's hoping that your company after however many
decades for christ's sake of operating as they are aren't large enough to get the attention of this regulator incase they feel the need to make some work for themselves by deciding you need extra competition, oh and expecting you to pay to make it possible, along with massive CapEx on new digital platforms.
Summary, that was a petty, inconsiderate and overall crappy thing to say. Hopefully you'll have a think about all the people whose job losses you ranted about and remember how they felt, this decision could quite easily arrange for more people to be joining them. I'm happy you're happy about it.
