Beneath the concrete and the clay

Article Abstract:

The UK cable industry is growing rapidly and 75% of UK homes are to be cabled by 2000, involving an investment of more than 10 billion pounds sterling. Companies have to bid for a license then lay lines and provide a service. Income is available from multimedia and telecommunications services as well as from cable TV, once the lines have been laid. Operators will also need to attract and retain subscribers in order to survive on a long term basis. Companies involved in the UK market include TeleWest and Nynex.

Facing the music

Article Abstract:

Tring International is a UK music publisher which saw a sharp drop in its share price following a profit warning in Oct 1995. The company has sought to acquire Pic-A-Tape, its main customer accounting for nearly 25% of Tring's pre-tax profit for 1994. The attempt failed and Pic-A-Tape no longer deals with Tring, which is still seeking to acquire Pic-A-Tape. Tring's profit is forecast at 3.2 million pounds sterling by UBS, a downward revision from 6.8 million pounds previously forecast.
