Correct. The only way I can watch TV is to subscribe to ntl.

No because those providers will continue to make the programmes.

My point is is that some people will choose to watch Tv via the internet rather than via the TV and those will be people who will cancel their subscriptions to ntl, saving themselves a whole laod of cash in the process.
With the exception of the BBC companies will not spend money making programs if they do not generate more cash from selling them than it costs to make them.

If TV via the internet becomes the norm then you will have to pay for it, you will not get it for free. There will be companies selling broadband TV bundles similar to the bundles that Sky and NTL already sell. These may or may not be cheaper than the present bundle costs. There could be individual channels selling their own product but the chances are that selecting the ones that you want individually will cost you more than the bundles that they are part of.
