New COO for NTL/Telewest
 

Hopefully with the appointment of Stephen Burch as the new COO, with his experience in the cable industry, hopefully now NTL/Telewest will be lead by someone who has a focus and a proper knowledge of what is needed to make NTL/Telewest work as proper cable/telecomms provider.

Uptill now we have had a succession of people leading the company who's aim hasn't bee totally focused or having the real knowledge of how a cable/telecomms company works.

Most of the directors ect have come from a background in finance ect, so they may know how to make the figures look good, but as for the running of a Communications company like NTL i'm not so sure.

Stephen Burch hasn't been appointed COO, that's Neil Berkett. Stephen Burch is the new CEO, replacing Simon Duffy who steps down to become Executive Vice-President.

However, I agree with your main thrust - there are exciting times ahead!
