there will be a monopoly in places where ADSL isnt possible due to the distance from the exchange.
there will also be a monopoly in places where users need higher speeds but their ADSL line will only allow 512. it may be a necessity in the future to have a top speed line in order to enjoy the internet properly - in this case NTL/TW would have a monopoly on the ability to provide this if/where ADSL cant.
I cant see any of this working against the public interest though unless NTL/TW offer better deals to people who are in areas where ADSL can complete and offer crap deals where they know ADSL cant compete.
