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.
The reason the trial was being discussed was because it was being claimed that, whereas Sky and Telewest had made preparations for HD, ntl had done nothing, which blatently was not true.

What is true, however, is that it appears that ntl were about six months behind Telewest in their HD preparations. As such they had a more up-to-date STB but would not have been able to release it until October at the earliest.
