...indeed, a lot more of that to come...

VM has a new CFO (finance boss) and he's made clear there are lots more job cuts to come.

Although there has been extensive work to merge all the cablecos, there are still subtle differences between the 3 main legacy networks, although it will soon be one proper network fed by only one super headend (with a backup) instead of the current 3.

In fact, there are elements of all the predecessor cable cos within VM in areas such as how stbs work to billing. Because there used to be dozens of cablecos, VM has buildings and staff everywhere. The CFO plans to consolidate this considerably, I gather. Not a good Christmas for some...
