Because Virgin doesn't believe that owning linear channels is a weapon. VM has decided that content delivery is the thing it does best. Pushing the speed of its internet, the versatility of its TiVo set-top box and the range of mobile handsets/tariffs it can provide is all in the game plan for VM's marketing over the next year or so. Bragging about the channels it owns is not (and, for the NTL half of the business at least, never really has been).
