Hmm, perhaps something to do with a wide range of indicators, including industry analysts and both company's own shareholders?
Quote:
Investors in Britain's two leading cable companies expect NTL and Telewest to start merger negotiations early in the new year. American shareholders in both companies told the Guardian that they expected talks to start as soon as Telewest completed its £1.7bn refinancing and NTL finalised the £1.2bn sale of its masts business during the first three months of next year.
One investor, who declined to be named, said: "It makes perfect business sense for them to merge. The only reason it wouldn't get done is ego."
