The reason for keeping Business as NTL: Telewest was due to Virgin never having been in the Business 2 Business market before and weren't too sure if it would work. Although its NTL: Telewest Business(Part of Virgin Media) I am still employed by VM and have an @Virginmedia email address.

Or they might invest it in other areas like IPTV or customer services etc who knows but they must be trying to free up some capital for something.

Well IPTV is something that will be launching within the next year I think.
