And i do not think the regulator would make them open up the cable network as the network was financed entirely out of private capital,unlike bts which had millions of taxpayers £sssss, pumped in under its guise as a former nationalised giant. I would say its vm at best fishing around in desperation (hope not), at ways of paying off its huge deficit,if it does go ahead (hope not) lets hope its cable base customers do not suffer (unlikely) as it sounds like bad news.

You think wrong I'm afraid. It's not about where the money comes from it's about the competitive landscape. Worth remembering it's not just Ofcom that are the issue but the Euro regulators as well.
