Should Virgin Media and Cable & Wireless Worldwide merge?
In light of competition by BT and Sky in the Phone/Broadband/TV market in the UK, I feel that Virgin Media and Cable & Wirless Worldwide merge to form a company to rival BT and Sky, it would help Virgin Media provide more capacity!
But what do you think |

Virgin = Big market share + market leader in many areas (e.g. STB and BB). Why would it eant to commit suicide?

It didn't work the first time they tried it in 1996, why should it work now?
I wonder who the one who voted "Yes" was? :D |
re: Should Virgin Media and Cable & Wireless Worldwide merge?
Currently 20 votes for NO and 1 for YES, I think that says it all

By the way Cable and Wireless worldwide would be broken up, if Virgin Media was to acquire it, it would only be the UK arm and it could boost Virgin Media Business and will be the 2nd largest telecoms provider in the UK. Anyway the way things are looking, all of them companies will go down the tubes eventually and be swallowed up by European telecoms giants or private equity firms that is how privatisation and free enterprise is in this country. |

If memory serves me right, when I joined as it was then it was "BCM" Bell Cable Media that then became Cable And Wireless soon to be "NTL" and now as VM. Ok this is regional I know. But VM have so far offered better customer care and retention offers to their customers than those before. So for me on personal level it's def a BIG NO.
