NTL looks set to buy Virgin Mobile

NTL, the UK's leading cable operator looks set to announce their acquisition of Virgin Mobile over the next week.

And who said convergence wasn't back. Here you have a cable operator and media company (they create some of their own content) buying a leading mobile phone operator.

And it looks like the Virgin Mobile team is to stay on - so cable pioneers will sit alongside mobile pioneers. This could be an extremely successful formula.

Everyone in the media and telecomms sectors should take not of this deal - for it is the future.
