(B/Positive/--); the exposure to country and foreign-exchange risks associated with its non-U.K. operations; and the group's weak--albeit improving--cash generation relative to dividend payments. The ratings are supported, however, by the continuing cash generation and upstream dividends from C&amp;W's established International business; its adequate liquidity position; and its modestly leveraged capital structure, with total adjusted debt to EBITDA of 1.6x (0.9x reported) at Sept. 30, 2008. C&amp;W's revenues increased by 1.3% in the 12 months to Sept. 30, 2008, compared with the same period a year earlier,</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GBR</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">126830</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">G17416</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">50101010 501010 5010 50</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Cable&amp;Wireless PLC</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">115390</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EUROMIDAFR</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">PAC</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CW/@LN</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">SUMMARY</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">STRUC</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">ABS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Telecommunications</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/spcred/683173</link><guid isPermaLink="false">spcred/683173</guid><spcred:index_mode xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">norm</spcred:index_mode><description>The latest Research Update from S&amp;P</description><spcred:dataset xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">global</spcred:dataset><spcred:dataset xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">structured</spcred:dataset><pubDate>11/13/2008 3:29:00 PM</pubDate><spcred:price xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">175</spcred:price><title>Research Update: Cable&amp;Wireless Outlook Revised To Positive On Demerger Plans And First-Half Results</title><spcred:type xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Research Update</spcred:type><spcred:docid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">683173</spcred:docid><spcred:index_entry_dispcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">United Kingdom</spcred:index_entry_dispcountry><spcred:index_entry_dispgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Alternative Carriers</spcred:index_entry_dispgics><spcred:index_entry_dispregion xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Europe, Middle East, Africa</spcred:index_entry_dispregion><spcred:index_entry_dispregion xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Pacific</spcred:index_entry_dispregion><spcred:index_entry_dispregion xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">United States</spcred:index_entry_dispregion><spcred:index_entry_dispsector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Global Issuers</spcred:index_entry_dispsector><spcred:index_entry_dispsector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Structured Finance</spcred:index_entry_dispsector><spcred:index_entry_dispsector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Corporations</spcred:index_entry_dispsector><spcred:index_entry_dispsector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Asset-Backed Securities</spcred:index_entry_dispsector><spcred:index_entry_dispsector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Telecommunications &amp; Cable</spcred:index_entry_dispsector><spcred:index_entry_disptype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Research Update</spcred:index_entry_disptype><spcred:index_entry_excerpt xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">On Nov. 11, 2008, Standard&amp;Poor's Ratings Services revised its outlook on U.K.-based telecommunications provider Cable&amp;Wireless PLC (C&amp;W) to positive from developing following the group's announcement that it intends to demerge its business units.

&amp; Wireless business update. I am pleased to report that compared to the half-year, I'm fully match fit this time, which pleases me no end, and I apologize to those people I splattered on back in November. Today we will be giving a short update on CWI, on international. Actually, when we conceived of this investor day, it was prior to the half-year, and we thought the timing was appropriate as it would be two years in to the EAUS journey, and this session was always originally conceived as just an EAUS presentation. Obviously, the change of leadership at the half-year on international has made it opportune for me to give you some first reflections on that business. That will be about half an hour, with an opportunity for Q&amp;A thereafter. Then we will take a short break, and Jim Marsh, the chief executive of the EAUS and I will take you through the substance of today, which is the [full-year] update on Europe, Asia and the US....
