And I will tell you one last time, Virgin Media is not interested in IPTV, it is crap! HD is very limited,bandwith is limited and costs a lot of money to roll out and maintain.

Virgin Media has made arrangements with fujitsu to provide a similar but better service. Virgin Media also prefer to expand there existing network wherever they can where it is seen as commercially viable.

That would be a lot cheaper than acquiring or merging with rival firms.

Virgin Media finds it fairly easy to grab customers and again would be cheaper than acquiring or merging with rival firms.

IPTV is unrealistic and I don't think it is a suitable alternative.

What you are suggesting is what NTL and Telewest did in the past and got them into serious financial problems, Cable and Wireless Worldwide is still doing it and has got them no where! Taking over Thus thinking that will solve there problems.
Was the IPTV that Virgin tried outsude the cable network as good as the TV service on Cable?
