Re: Buyout firms set their eye on Virgin Media

A Yank takeover is what this company needs.

The US number one supplier of TV and Broadband is Cable, so they would have more expertise than anyone in the world, especially in VM.

They need to import some techniques from the USA to free up Bandwidth and so on, and offer more stuff.
