I really don't think ntl would want it as news, it might put off future customers. Regardless of it being right or wrong.

IF something like this were to happen, i think it would be a media hot spot, certainly in the communications industry. It's the case that would set a precident for future cases. And i'm sure whoever the person was going to court would have his costs paid for, by some anti-cap group, or media company, wanting their story.
NTL wouldn't take anyone to court would they? All they would do is cease the customers account. If any court action was to take place it would have to be the customer suing NTL for breach of contract and I would hazard a good guess as to who would win.

I would say that they were on the same UBR as NTL customers and their usage may affect NTL customers. How many AOL via cable customers are there though and how are AOL charged for their use?
