This isn't a personal thing for your amusement people's jobs could be threatened over this if ntl and Crown Castle are forced to spend a load of money so that others can take their business off them.
Glad that entertains you so much. Personally I think it's horrid, and no doubt any ntl:Broadcast people who may have their careers threatened if Ofcom decide to chop into the margins of a future owner or ntl:Broadcast themselves wouldn't be overly amused either.
Here's hoping that your company after however many decades for christ's sake of operating as they are aren't large enough to get the attention of this regulator incase they feel the need to make some work for themselves by deciding you need extra competition, oh and expecting you to pay to make it possible, along with massive CapEx on new digital platforms.
Summary, that was a petty, inconsiderate and overall crappy thing to say. Hopefully you'll have a think about all the people whose job losses you ranted about and remember how they felt, this decision could quite easily arrange for more people to be joining them. I'm happy you're happy about it.

The whole point of my comment is that I stated when Carter left ntl, he would find some way of sticking the knife in when he could. It was well known that there was no love loss during his last few months with the company.
I would have a smile if certain "jobs for the boys" type managers and the ones who treat employees badly were to get their just deserve.
I think this is another case of sopmeone jumping to a conclusion about my thread, and making the assumption that I think every ntl employee should lose their job.
Please feel free to post any of my previous posts (complete post) where I have stated any pleasure in general/good employees losing their jobs!
if you can find any posts or any ntl employee who knows me, and claims I have ever made such a general statement I will eat my hat. In fact they would of probably tackled me on one of my nights out with some of them if it were the case.
Look at the facts, and don't just twist things to try to get people on this forum to have a go at me by posting things that are lies. If I say things about ntl and "specific managers" you dont like you just have to live with it and not get abusive about it or try to drum up a sympathy vote.
