About NTL NTL is a complete wiring and cabling solutions provider, ranging from businesses like telecoms and other corporate networks to government departments and big brands and sole traders working at home. With its headquarters located in New York, this US-listed British company provides cable services (internet, telephone, and television) to suit the growing needs of its customer base. The company formed as the result of the 2006 merger of the United Kingdom's two major cable services companies, NTL Holdings and Telewest Global. The combined company dominates cable operations in the UK. It also owns Virgin Mobile (UK) and Virgin.net which supplies broadband and dial-up internet services. NTL competes with the Sky Digital platform in the pay television market, and against BT (and BT-provided ADSL services) in the voice telephone and broadband markets. NTL also produces content through its Flextech subsidiary. In 2005 residential services generated 78% of NTL's revenue, and business services 22%. Barclay Knapp and George Blumenthal, founders of the cellular network company Cellular Communications, Inc. (sold to Airtouch in 1996), established NTL Holdings in 1993 as International CableTel. They founded CableTel in order to take advantage of the deregulation of the UK cable market. Initially, Cabletel acquired local cable franchises covering Guildford and parts of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
