Re: Planning ahead


[re: RobertoS] [link to this post]
 
In reply to a post by RobertoS:
Yes, that's Virgin. Ours were installed by Nynex, which was bought by NTL, which is what I believe Virgin Media cable is - just licensing the use of the brand-name from Richard Branson's companies.


NTL bought/merged with Telewest, and the combined NTL:Telewest then bought Virgin Mobile, which gave them the right to use the Virgin name - so they renamed the whole group Virgin Media.

I sometimes wondered if Branson's holding company Virgin Enterprises actually wanted to let their name be used by the NTL:telewest lot, but I suspect given the purchase of Virgin Mobile, they had no choice.
