davieG Posted 6 February 2013 Posted 6 February 2013 US billionaire John Malone's cable group, Liberty Global, has agreed to buy the UK's Virgin Media in a cash and stock deal worth $23.3bn (£15bn). The deal will create the world's largest broadband company, with 25 million customers in 14 countries. In the UK, it will be the second biggest pay-TV business after BSkyB. The merger, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, puts Mr Malone in competition with Rupert Murdoch, whose media empire owns 39% of BSkyB. More at http://www.bbc.co.uk...siness-21347814
