If any company would buy SES, that would be BSkyB or Canal+

Imagine though if they did, that would annoy Sky (and their allies) big time

Also some people don't like NTL/Virgin Media as a company, some people can't stand the Virgin brand either, like me with Orange, if it was called Virgin Mobile, i'm sure many people will leave because I know for a fact the tariffs and pricing will just be high, Virgin Media are expensive in comparison with alternatives, I stick with them because getting the service was hassle free including moves and transfers and the service i'm getting is quite good. If you compare the amount people spend on BT,Sky and TalkTalk services, Virgin Media customers spend more on there services.

Virgin Media needs to lower its prices to compete well in the near future, currently, they rank the most expensive home phone service in the UK, and things like 100mb broadband are priced too high to the point where families would struggle to pay for this.

That's what it has to do to compete well, not acquire or merge with other companies.

I do not think that Virgin Media will lower their price, but I hope they will improve their service. Also are you suggesting Virgin Media should drop the "Virgin" brand and sell Virgin Mobile?
