I am STILL flummoxed as to how you are an admin here Neil 
You are SO anti NTL it is laughable! |
There was once a time when that was the principal qualification for the job.
These days it is not, but then it's not a prerequisite to be an NTL fanboy either.
I happen to disagree with your premise by the way (assuming that your post implies you think it is a given that Telewest should be able to innovate more quickly because it is smaller). Sky is bigger than both NTL and Telewest but is well advanced with a credible HD service. Business culture is what governs ability to innovate, probably more so than revenue streams. An innovative company will always be able to secure finance from somewhere. The problem here appears to be that NTL is hidebound in a management culture that does not foster and encourage free thinking and innovation.
It puts me in mind of a few years ago, during one of NTL's many appearances on Watchdog, when they put their head of interactive services up for interview. NTL's interactive service was so utterly, shockingly dire at the time I was left wondering what the bloke actually did for a living.
