Virgin is not on the agenda for the time being, we are very happy with the current solution of both reselling BT's (BT.L) lines and working with CityFibre (CITYC.L).

It would be a great missed opportunity if Britain was trying to sit outside of it and not shaping it from inside.

We are getting a decent amount of customers each month, and when we are ready we will launch our own content-rich TV offer, for the time being we have not reached an agreement with BT.

If we work well with Liberty of course it's much better than if we don't, and if we get used to our own different cultures, it is of course an enrichment and a positive.

We have reached an important turning point for the group with a return to organic growth in service revenue and EBITDA (core earnings) in the first half.

There is a clear agenda on the part of these companies to undo 30 years of customer choice, re-establish their former monopolies and make it very difficult for other players to compete.
