Wasn't BT (when it was a monopoly) forced to allow other ISPs to have access to its network? Now that Virgin is a cable monopoly, do the same rules apply i.e. could VM be forced to rent bandwith to a putative competitor? Hmm! I think I know what the answer is, but what a nice thought! Raise a bit of dosh from somewhere and set up a guaranteed conduit only ISP? OK - let me dream.........
