Virgin.net is an Internet service provider
operating in the UK which launched in November
1996. Once a division within the Virgin Group, the
ISP is now wholly owned by the telecommunications
company NTL. Currently three broadband packages
across a range of prices, speeds and download
allowances are on offer, plus subscription-based
and subscription-free dial-up.
The portal
Like ISPs including Wanadoo, Tiscali and MSN,
Virgin.net also provides an entertainment and news
Web portal alongside its Internet access services.
Topics covered include music, movies, travel,
technology and motoring.
The Virgin Group is a group of separately run
companies that each use Virgin brand of British
celebrity business tycoon Sir Richard Branson. The
core business areas are travel, entertainment and
lifestyle, although many others have been entered
into.
Although Branson retains complete ownership and
control of the Virgin Brand, the commercial set up
of companies using it is varied and complex. The
group is sometimes perceived as a conglomerate,
but this is not in fact the case. Each of the
companies operating under the Virgin brand are
separate entities, with some being wholly owned by
Branson, while he holds minority or majority
stakes in others. Occasionally, he simply licenses
the brand to a company that has purchased a
division from him, such as Virgin Radio (now part
of SMG plc) and Virgin Music (now part of EMI).
With a few exceptions, all of the companies began
as wholly owned Virgin subsidiaries.
To understand the Virgin structure, it is best to
think of Sir Richard as a venture capitalist who
unites all of his differing ventures under a
single brand name.
