I would say yes, but we'll see.
Liberty has several cable/media brands. UPC being their biggest brand in Europe.
When Branson took a share of what was ntl:telewest, the cableco signed a licensing agreement to use the Virgin brand.
The Virgin brand is well known as being Richard Branson Inc and Virgin Media in itself is now well establised in its own right. But I don't think one billlionaire will want to use the brand of another, even a sucessful one, so we'll see.
Personally, I liked and still do like the name Telewest. Do I think it will come back? Unlikely.
But I do think there will be a new name eventually and I think I know what it will be....
