Why is a trial been discussed?

Its whats rolled out that counts, NTL appear to be market leaders in trials as they seem to a trial an aweful lot of stuff first.

When it comes to rollouts thats where they poor, most rollouts dodnt reach universal coverage and what is rolled out is usually behind other companies.

I am sure the telewest guy had a good reason to suspend the new box, since telewest is now merged with ntl its in his interest for ntl to do well also, I can guess it could be a technical problem with the box or maybe the cost was deemed too high since the shareholders were sold a 250 mill cost cut as reward for merging.
