The difference here is, and I apologise if it has already been pointed out. But BT's Network - up until the point of privitisation was paid for by you and me (tax payer). NTL/TW have had to pay for their own network - hence the massive debt. BT were given a monoploy - therefore it is just that they should open up their network. This whole issue, with the merger of NTL and TW will sort itself out with NTL/TW in competition with BT to "sell" their networks to 3rd party carriers. Prices will come down for all.
