Liberty Global - what will they bring to the table?
Not sure where to put this, as it is about Virgin packages as a whole. Anyway with the takeover now confirmed, what LG bring to the table? Will we see more channels, a return to own brand channels, more exclusives and heavy investment in the broadband infrastructure meaning no usage caps?
I get the feeling it will be more of the same. What do you think?

Well only the rest of this year will we see Liberty reveal their true plans and only then we can make some sort of judgement on then.

Re: Liberty Global - what will they bring to the table?
I'm not expecting much. I know they're massive, but they have already said they have no intention of expanding the network or investing in premium content. Not sure what they will do other than more of the same and continue to increase speeds etc.

The return of some own brand channels presumably, as they want to run channels unlike the current lot.

Good negotiations yes but not one who rolls over and accepts everything demanded surely?
