So not available to all, and would therefore not be an eligible part of a contract. People can move, terms and conditions can change, the perks can be added to and removed. Not a contractual obligation.

What is an intranet?
An intranet is a private network operating on a web server within your company.
Your company's manuals, HR information, and any other internal information can be organized on an internal web site that operates like an Internet site - without necessarily being connected to the Internet.
Content is accessed by employees using browser software such as Microsoft Internet ExplorerÂÂÂÂ ® or Netscape NavigatorÂÂÂà ‚®. All information contained and distributed on an intranet is secured by a firewall, which limits access to users inside your company.
An intranet allows organizations to communicate to employees internally and at branch offices easily and accurately.
Therefore many things are important enough to be communicated on the Intranet, the benefits to certain employess, being one

Is that really the point here? (no)
The point is that ntl's failure to document something properly, has led to some of their staff losing that benefit when they needn't have.

Their employer has changed, therefore the benefits change or are lost, this has happened to me twice over the last year ...
These 'benefits' are still perks of the job, they are documented, and are not available to all anyway, their employer has changed, therefore the 'benefits' offered by the previous company are no longer relevant.
