no point ntl keeping the Broadcast arm for the company, seeing as ntl want to concentrate on their cable network. an extra £1.2 billion to pay off debt will help ntl make more money, because then there will be lower debt repayments and interest repayments.
have have obviously thought about what they are doing, they must believe that they'll save more money selling it than keeping it.
now just £2billi on of debt left. what's left to sell now
