If NTL went completely bellyup, and was banned from trading, it's assets would be sold off - and that inclused the significant infrastructre that currently exists.

Another company would come in and there would be a cable service again - however it would be a whole new set of people... which might at first seem a good idea, but there would be no experience so we'd pretty much be back at square one.

I would also note the timing of this - it's february, there's only a couple of months till the new financial year - chances are they're just cutting back expenditure for the rest of the financial year, so they can go into new budgets in april...
