Im inclined to agree with James Henry here, the cable companies have had well over a decade now to sort themselves out, who is to say they will go on another decade like this during regulation. If ntl was really struggling they wouldnt be buying out other companies and making bids for premium tv content, it wouldnt surprise me at all if profits are manipulated so they low which means ofcom carry on strangling BT, also if BT remain strangled their is no benefit to most people since NTL wont be expanding their network so anyone outside of NTL continiously shrinking footprint loses out because of the regulation. Not expanding their network could be deliberate now as well since their would then be possibly counted as having a monoply similiar to BT.
