You can expect the 90days announcement around June I'd say.

I was told yesterday that my old boss a HOD based in South Wales (running a national group) has been successful in keeping his job after an interview early last week. If the successful candidate had been chosen by the usual ntl method he would of probably been out of a job. Certainly the decision to keep him and not the other candidate is a positive step for the company, and possibly because the Telewest people seem to have some power in decisions about technical positions. lets hope its a sign that they are at last making decisions based on ability and its not a one-off fluke like the way things happened in the past.
I think your right about the 90 days, since having two guys ask me about jobs where I now work, another sent me a text asking the same. I thought at least two of these guys were in fairly safe positions, but it looks like people are starting to worry.
The bad thing about many redundancies before was not just the terrible situation for those affected, but the decision taken on who was kept and who was offloaded was a joke. I always said that if I named the top 10 useless people that I came across in ntl when I left nearly 5 years ago, at least 50% of them are still in a job there and a few have been promoted to the level of their imcompetence.
