Ntl do have the money if needed but the shareholders chose not to do it, I think that would be more accurate.
Lets put it this way. They could switch to an IPTV system running over ADSL and get coverage over non-cabled areas for a lot less money than it would cost to cable them. Which option do you think Shareholders would go for?
