Briefs: NTL's $1.4B bid for Virgin Mobile
NTL said Monday it would pay up to $1.4 billion to acquire British wireless carrier Virgin Mobile.
If the British cable television group's bid goes through, Virgin Chief Executive Richard Branson will be the company's single-biggest shareholder with 14 percent of total shares, having a 72-percent stake in Virgin Mobile.
The plan is to offer Internet access and television viewing as well as fixed and mobile-phone lines under a single package, which will be the first of its kind in Britain.
