Only the residential business of Mercury/Cable and Wireless was sold to NTL. The none Cable services like the Mercury 131 and 132 service was sold by NTL to Npower who then sold that to Tiscali.

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.
