A lot of recent discussion has been based on a media presentation made around the end of November which included proposed implementations for the coming twelve months. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would realise that plans can be changed at any time to take account of competitors changes to their products. Nothing is set in stone until the final hour. It is easy for someone to come along and post that they have inside information on things like whether the admin fee will be applied or not. They have a fifty-fifty chance of being right and can brag about how good their informant is if they do get it right or slink silently into the darkness if they get it wrong. My own feeling is that anyone within NTL who has information that hasn't been released would be in such an high position that they wouldn't risk the consequences of being found to have disclosed it.
