Sorry if I was wrong about the current board, I should have said that the majority of the stock of NTL Incorporated (the 'merged' NTL & Telewest) was held by previous NTL shareholders but the original board of NTL inc was certainly dominated by ex-NTL board members (9 to 2 in NTL's favour). Besides it's only a licensed brand, I might be wrong but I think Virgin Group only owns a tiny share of VM.

VM is NTL under the slap!
