Perhaps NTL management has been taken over by relations of these companies that are winning these contracts. Just a thought!! I have many Indian friends and know of how they support their own in India even to sending money out through alternative paths.
Looking at the NTL managers name made me think if their family originally came from India. Could there be something here that needs looking into by Parliament.

This is only my personal thoughts on this subject so IMPO I think this should be checked by the powers that be to see if there is anything going on that needs stamping out now...
