It was the governments choice to carve the country up into tiny cable patches that the cable patch kid Barclay decided to sew together to create an entity with the economy of scale to compete with Sky. If the Govt had decided that there should be one, or two cable suppliers for the UK and implemented the licence sell off on that basis, not one per city we would not be in this mess. Again the govt trying to maximise licence revenue without considering the repercussions.
