That's what we have been saying all along.

A merger is likely in 2005.

Nothing suprising about this news, there is still a bit more fat to trim off both companies before they merge.

Also important (you'll note) is the broadcast sell off. It'll give ntl plenty of cash to help merge and also the broadcast division would not fit into the plans of such a massive cable com.
