NTL faces loss of licence

TELECOMS regulator Etain Doyle has threatened to withdraw NTL’s digital licence if it does not explain why its customers are still denied access to a full digital service.

Ms Doyle, who has described the situation as “intolerable”, has called on NTL to produce an adequate explanation by October 15.

“Failure by NTL to provide the necessary clarity by this date will result in my office taking whatever steps are appropriate under the regulations,” she warned.
