Yes, if the battery ran out you would have no dial tone and so not be able to call

I doubt the government would let NTL close down the cable networks due to the lack of competition and they would try to ensure some other company took over. As a final straw, I suspect they would take over themselves with a view to reprivatising in a few years (a bit like they did with Railtrack).
