Re: Will VM charge for damaged cable?
Thanks for the interesting replies.
It really was a hotch potch of a network wasn't it. I think it would have been more sensible to have awarded one franchise for the whole of the UK, it wasn't as if customers could choose which cable company they wanted, so the idea of competition for dividing things up into franchise areas is moot.
It was lucky that a system designed for analogue had enough capacity for phone and broadband on top of TV. AIUI, TV is the least profitable part of the business, so if digital hadn't been invented, I suspect that most cable companies would have gone under.
