Don't know if they were the worst architects to our demise.

Anthony William Paul Stenham, (known to his friends as Cob), is reported to have been awarded a contract worth at least £3.4 million, by his new masters - The Bondholders.

Slightly more than Judas received.

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM A RESTATEMENT OF DEBT AS OF JANUARY 16th 2004

These adjustments have been made because the Company recently determined that the effect of non-payment of a hedge contract of L10.5 million in 2002 triggered a default on an additional L1,792 million of bond debt as at December 31, 2002.

We have also determined the need to accrue additional interest of L2 million relating to additional interest for bonds in default as at December 31, 2002.

This adjustment increases net loss, interest expense and other liabilities by L2 million as at and for the year ended December 31, 2002.

According to this statement, they suggest they were unaware, (in September 2002), the default on £10.5 million hedge contract would trigger insolvency.

Either they have lied through their teeth, in not knowing the implications of defaulting, or have been so totally incompetent, they do not deserve the multi-million pound hand-outs they were awarded: for services to bondholders.

Ofcom fires starting gun on 2007 digital switchover

Chris Tryhorn, City correspondent
Tuesday September 14, 2004

The government's influential media regulator today set out its blueprint for switching off the analogue TV signal, a move that will ultimately effect up to to 90 million sets, in just three years' time.
Ofcom, which governs all commercial TV in the country including ITV, Channel 4 and Five, said it was technically possible to phase in digital-only areas as early as 2007.

And it said broadcasters must switch off the analogue signal by the end of 2012 - a date already considered feasible by the BBC director general, Mark Thompson.

Ofcom's statement today gave fresh impetus to the government's plans to ensure the UK becomes the world's first country to have a digital-only TV network.

About half the country currently has digital TV in some form - through satellite, cable or Freeview connections - but it is widely agreed that the consumer acceptance of digital will plateau and the government will have to intervene by setting a firm date for switching off analogue transmitters.

Ofcom said ITV, Channel 4 and Five - which are to be given new licences at the end of this year - would have to comply with December 31 2012 as a "backstop date", by which time they should have stopped broadcasting their analogue services.

The timetable follows up on the announcement earlier this year by the culture secretary, Tessa Jowell, that 2012 might be the most appropriate date to complete the switchover.

Up until now the government had been officially put forward a target date for phasing out analogue between 2006 and 2010.


Trials of digital-only networks will start next spring in two Welsh villages where hundreds have agreed to abandon analogue TV.

While around14 million of the UK's 25 million homes have taken the digital route, one of the big challenges for the government is persuaded householders to convert every TV in their homes. There are an estimated 80 million-plus sets in the country.

The second challenge is convincing the hardcore of "refuseniks", and the government may eventually be forced to pay for them to switch over to digital.

Ministers are keen to push through the process in order to free up the analogue spectrum and put the UK at the vanguard of the digital revolution.

Ofcom also said today that broadcasters would have to cover the country as extensively under their new licences as their analogue service does now, which will involve rolling out the digital terrestrial service to 1,154 transmission sites.

At the moment a significant minority of homes are unable to pick up Freeview, the cheapest form of digital TV that does not require the payment of a subscription.

The regulator said it had already held discussions with broadcasters before preparing its drafts of the new digital replacement licences.

These are the terms by which broadcasters will be given access to the analogue and digital spectrum over the 10-year period between 2005 and 2014.

Built into the licences are conditions relating to "the public service broadcasting remits of licensees and statements of programme policy".

Ofcom has asked for responses to its proposals to be submitted by October 25.

Meanwhile, the regulator is working with broadcasters, the government, consumer groups and others to develop SwitchCo, a body responsible for ensuring switchover happens and providing consumer information and advice.
