If it was opened up, vast sums of taxpayers money would be needed to effectively buy ownership of the network from ntl - it was built with private money, it cannot simply be taken away from the people who put the money in with no recompense. If that were to happen, private investment in telecomms networks would cease overnight.

I am tired enough of seeing taxpayers money thrown at BT without seeing it thrown at ntl as well.
