Re: [Merged] Telewest Broadband to increase speeds
 

I realise I am being picky here, but that article just points out the way is clear. It does not say it will happen.

You are saying what I had already said in the post you quoted. :cool:

Anyway Read this thread if you have not already:-

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=12633

Particulary where it says:-

Previous attempts to close the deal have been blocked by bondholders led by American hedge fund manager Bill Huff, who stands to become the largest shareholder with 18.4% of the new company.

Other major holders will be Fidelity with 13.3%, Franklin (8.1%), Liberty Media (7.9%) and Angelo Gordon (7.2%).

Fidelity also holds 15% of NTL, Britain's largest cable company, while Huff has 12.9% and Franklin 8.3%.

The signs of a merger are there.

Yeah, I know exactly what I said. That article was saying the way is clear for it to happen. It does not say it will happen.

Anyway, I found the following quote in the Evening Standard article
So, it sounds like people are still talking about it. As far as I can see, that means it is a possibility it will happen, but does not mean it will.


I personally will be surprised if it doesn't happen..

EDIT: BTW, I never said the signs weren't there, just that we are speculating it will happen.

Yeah I know which is why I said it isn't an official annoucement and that the cards have been layed on the table.... :cool:
