New ops chief at Telewest Broadband

Telewest Broadband's new Chief Operating Officer is cable industry veteran Eric Tveter, it was revealed today.

Tveter brings experience from positions at US cable operators Comcast and Time Warner Cable to his new appointment, where his responsibilities will include overseeing Telewest's cable system infrastructure and day-to-day operations.

Britain's second largest cable operator is set to emerge from a financial restructuring process, encompassing a debt-for-equity swap valued at nearly £4bn, in the next few weeks.
