There are not. The Navy, Coast Guard, and the US Government has already said that. BP is the only company that has the expertise with these DEEP SEA wells. The other companies are not set up for such operations at an extreme depth.

The government has contacted James Cameron, the director, due to his deep-water expertise, and the fact that he built the ROV that was the first in the world to find the wreck of the titanic, which ironically sank in extreme depths.

I doubt that Cameron has a solution, based on the fact that all known possible "solutions" have failed to date. And now, they are saying that a relief well is not a 100% chance...so what do you do when the relief well fails? With BP's track record so far, you know it's inevitable.
