Why would a company go backwards? It would be like Virgin Media re-introducing analogue TV

Why keep bumping the thread Alan????

Right from the start it was said that they have no intention of merging, because there would be no benefit in doing so. End of story!!!

And many people who have more knowledge on the subject than you do, have told you why the benefits are cancelled out many times over.

Most do agree with you, but not all!

Though it is not likely Virgin will do a deal with C&W Worldwide, I feel that they should!

Yet 77% have voted against the idea, that in it's own right would stop any company from taking such action.. You started the vote so perhaps you should take heed of the results..
