Liberty broadly intend to leave vm alone, they won't be changing vm's network, or trying to merge vm's tech with other european operations.

Liberty will use vm's expertise in mobile/quad play across the combined business.

Liberty Global and Vm will become a new UK based company, with HQ still in US and listed on nasdaq.

Liberty to put $3 billion additional debt onto vm's books.....its tax efficient, so they say, for them to do it.

Liberty agree with vm's strategy of not bidding for premium content.
