Marconi manufactures payphone and payphone equipment for both Mercury and BT.

IPM a competitor of Marconi acquired Mercury sites and turned them into interphone telephone boxes with there own corporate design.

Interphone went through various ownerships and were left in a very shoddy state, a majority of the sites were sold to Spectrum Interactive and the other sites were refurbished to a new kiosk design and is called Infocus public networks. All the former Mercury and orange Interphone kiosks have nearly all gone.
The Marconi Telcommnuications assets are now split between Ericsson and Telent

So you are saying that Mercury Communications assets were split between Virgin Media (Cable Residential Business assets), TalkTalk (Non-Cable Residential Business assets) and C&W Worldwide (remaining assets)?
