Ooh, that's handy.

Full details of the decision are available on the OFT website, by the way - which also shows the clearing of Sky's takeover of Easynet.

Re: NTL gets the OK from Goverment
That announcement from the OFT has to have been a no-brainer considering they didn't block the CWC/ntl merger years ago, and the current Government policy of a "light touch" regulation of broadcast industries in the UK at present - apart that is from the Charter Renewal process for the BBC ....

The fly in the ointment is looking to be the tie-up with the Branson/Virgin group for the licence to use the "VIrgin" brand and offer mobile services - seems their minority shareholders could scupper that deal, so any bets on us still being with an enlarged ntl: next christmas rather than "Virgin Television"?
