British cable TV firm NTL has announced that it plans to cut or outsource 6,000 jobs by the end of 2007. NTL said about 4,500 other employees would leave the company, many of them also seeing their posts outsourced, but it could not provide any more details. It said most of the job cuts that did not involve outsourcing would go through natural attrition, voluntary redundancy and cuts in temporary staff.
