Another good read. Thanks for the links
It's because NTL grew by acquisition, buying cable companies like Diamond Cable (Notts), C&W Comms (which before had been Jones Cable, Bell Cablemedia, Encom, etc), Nynex, Cable London, ComTel, ComCast, Eurobell, Birmingham Cable, et al, all of which either had different billing systems (ICMS, ICOMS, Bytel SMS, etc) or differently modded versions of those billing systems.
