ntl ( see note 2 ) proposes to acquire the entire share capital of virgin mobile and will enter into a separate agreement with virgin enterprises for a 30 year licence to use the virgin name in respect of its supply of multi - channel tv , internet access and telecommunications services . ntl notified this transaction on 7 march 2006 , the administrative deadline expires on 8 may 2006 .

previously there had been some speculation that virgin media might seek to swap their mvno setup to use a different network , which was partly fuelled by the operator’s concern over bt ’s £12 . 5bn merger with ee ( i . e . bt is now virgin’s arch rival in both the fixed line and mobile space , not to mention tv ) . last year’s failure by three uk and o2 to secure a similar merger may have also impacted their decision .

the evidence the oft has found suggests that a hypothetical increase in the price of fixed line calls may lead to partial but not total substitution to mobile telecommunications services . it is possible that as prices for mobile calls fall , more customers would chose to switch from fixed line telecommunications to mobile telecommunications services . however as no competition issues arise whether or not fixed and mobile telecommunications services fall within the same economic market , it is therefore unnecessary to reach a conclusion .
