[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 453028, member: 1607"] Just for the record I think you will find that NTL/Telewest purchased Virgin Mobile, of which part of the purchase included some share options leaving Richard Branson as a major shareholder in NTL/Telewest. Later under a licensing agreement they re branded as Virgin Media, as the NTL brand was having some bad customer satisfaction issues.

This was also eventually sold to NTL around early 2000. So it was NTL, (with its poor customer image), that was doing more of the purchasing. But they had to re-brand to kill off the old NTL name.
