Re: Will NTL ever catch up with Sky?

Who would bear the cost of this if it is possible?
Which comes back to my original point of "which side does the problem lie on-Sky's reluctance to give it to ntl, or ntl's network having an inabilty to cope with it?"

I actually think it's both, I think Sky want to hold on to it as it gives their product an edge over the cable companies (they developed it, so why not?), & I also think that ntl's network can't handle it (I should say that's what I was told last time I was in ntl Hook)
