Perhaps because BT's network (I am talking about the lines to houses here, not the backhaul) was largely paid for by the public? While the cable network was built by Virgin's predecessors largely, so while Virgin (previously NTL/Telewest) did not directly pay for it (although they bought the debt), I think they should have some say who uses it.
