Absolutely, it isn't economics - yet. That's why they aren't cabling at the moment, and won't for some years. But it's nonsense to suggest that NTL will never consider new infrastructure. A company has to continue to grow because that's how you 'enhance shareholder value', and that is the reason PLCs exist. There is a limit to their expansion on their existing network. When every potential customer has all three services, where do they go then? And, when they need to expand the network, they aren't going to do it with copper twisted pairs. In the long term, even BT will abandon that for something a little less Victorian.
