Billionaire balloonist bails out of ISP market...
Published: 6 June 2001 10:52 BST
Richard Branson is to sell ailing ISP Virgin.net just three months after partnership talks with cable operator NTL came to a standstill.
Branson and co-owners NTL have appointed investment bank Lehman Brothers to find a buyer, after NTL opted out of plans to buy out Branson's stake in the company. NTL currently holds a 49 per cent stake in the ISP.
A successful deal would have seen NTL sign up Virgin.net's 600,000 users, while Virgin would have taken control of the ISP's entertainment portal.
Virgin.net has been valued at £240m, but analysts warn that a sale could prove difficult in a hostile ISP market.
