Either way, the competition is good for us consumers  |
All the latest talk from the new merged ntl/telewst company says they will take on BT and Sky and Win!.
Whatever that means we will just have to see. But two things they need to consider.
1) BT now have the opportunity to charge customers what they like, that could mean cheaper phone calls and line rental.
2) To beat Sky, you have to offer something far better than Sky +. Content may be one thing, possibly some fottie rights may help, I don't know.
Whatever they plan, it has to be a good win to keep existing customers and attract a raft of new ones.
