Re: The History of cable TV in the uk

Does it matter?

Telewest and NTL are now the same company anyway.

BT operated Cable TV services in the borough of Westminster and Milton keynes areas. These two franchises were sold to Cable and Wireless Communications. As far as I know, CWC built a new telephone network in these areas acompanying the TV service. There was no need for an additional telephone network before as BT already had their own.

However, these two franchises were offloaded to NTL in 2000. Customer numbers have always been very low in the westminster area and digital TV and Broadband is still not available in this area. Less than a mile away is the Cable London franchise were analogue hardly exists!
