Missed this one.
ntl do not however carry any traffic for this countries critical national infrastructure as I said in my previous post. All traffic of a sensitive nature carried on the critical national infrastructure must use high grade carrier class crypto links. Currently there is only one device that meets/exceeds the specifications for this work, these units cannot be bought by any tom, dick or harry, there is a list of approved departments/companies who this sort of gear can be supplied. The last thing the governemnt would want is to have one in an unmanned switch site with security guards monitoring remotely in their sleep.
The only network operator in this country with authority to purchase these devices is not ntl!
