If they do, then Virgin Mobile will become the biggest Mobile company in the UK!
Shame VM did not go for C&W Worldwide!

Emel. thanks for highlighting that article. I have always thought and said so on this forum that cable mergers aren't yet over in this country. I would also expect any new company to try and nab ITV too if it all goes ahead, but very early days yet.

Branding aside (I personally don't think the Virgin brand is that important), Virgin mobile is tiny and totally irrelevant especially if this new company keeps hold of the orange and T-mobile networks. And of course Virgin mobile doesn't have a network of its own but piggyback's off T-mobile's.

Virgin are not interested in running TV channels, so they will not buy ITV plc (or STV plc)
I think if they is going to be a VM/EE merger, then they should think up a new brand name (can I start a thread about a EE/VM merger?)

Don't forget more HD channels in general!
