This has just been posted by the BBC in the past hour: BBC News - Liberty Global to buy Virgin Media for $23.3bn
They have been brought out for $23.3bn (£15bn) by Liberty Global. This is still subject to shareholder and regulatory approval however. Interesting times.

Nope, not for at least 30 years!
As part of that deal Sir Richard retained a 3% stake in the company, which has a 30-year brand licensing agreement with his Virgin Group.

Apparently that part will be outsourced to the BT billing department.
Be afraid, be very afraid!
