I know quite a few ex-BT people in the old region of ntl that I worked in, BT made life a misery for all it's technical people and made it so bad that employees asked for redundancy and this finally left BT a shadow of it's former self in sorting out technical issues and implementing new projects.
Sound familiar ntl?
Many of these ex-BT people were employed because they had the right skills that ntl needed, just like people who previously worked for smaller cable TV companies prior to the American involvement over here.
One thing certainly is for sure, and that is most of the ex-BT and Cable TV people that are any good are getting a bit long in the tooth now, this will certainly cause ntl a problem when these people leave/retire.
ntl are not looking any further than the end of their noses and will pay the price in the future with a total brain drain in the industry.
What has gone on in ntl according to many ex-BT employees who moved to ntl, is exactly the same treatment that they got in BT 8-10 years ago. I think the ntl actions are copying BT and possibly some ex-BT people are calling the shots.
