Annual Report 2006 Dear Stockholder, 2006 Has Been an Exciting Year of Transformation 07-4863-1_VirginMedia10K_Cover.qxp 13/4/07 22:43 Page 1 (CyanMagentaYellowBlack plate) plate) plate)plate) Annual Report 2006 Dear Stockholder, 2006 has been an exciting year of transformation. Our hard working and dedicated employees have created a leading entertainment and communications business. We now have the U.K.’s first “quad-play” offering of television, broadband, and home and mobile phone services under the Virgin Media brand. Virgin is one of the most recognized consumer brands in the world, and has fantastic recognition in the U.K. In March 2006, our predecessor company NTL Incorporated merged with Telewest Global Inc. combining the two largest U.K. cable operators. Our cable network now passes approximately 51% of U.K. households and we serve almost 5 million customers. The merger has delivered significant synergies by reducing operating and capital costs from the combined businesses. We have made major process improvements in our customer operations and IT and have completed the first major billing system migration, driving two-thirds of our customers to one system. This is already paying dividends in terms of cost savings, improved flexibility and customer care. In July 2006, we added mobile telephone services to our product offering with the acquisition of Virgin Mobile, a leading U.K. mobile virtual network operator with approximately 4.5 million mobile phone customers. We have since merged ourretail channels across our Mobile and Cable segments and introduced significant cross-sell activity with the launch of offers such as our 4 for £40 at the end of September. Concurrent with the acquisition of Virgin Mobile we also secured a brand license agreement with the Virgin Group to use the ‘Virgin’ brand. We subsequently rebranded the company to Virgin Media in February 2007. We believe this brand will reposition the new group in the U.K. market and in the minds of customers and prospective customers. We believe that natural affinity to the Virgin brand along with great bundled offers and improved customer service will help drive customer growth. Performance on many of our metrics has improved during 2006, as shown by looking at the pro forma results for the merger with Telewest*. Through a strategic focus on bundled services, cross-selling and improving customer care within our consumer business, we have grown monthly on-net consumer ARPU over the year to the £42.82 ARPU we reported in the fourth quarter. On a pro forma basis, triple-play penetration has improved 8 percentage points to 41% in 2006 and RGU per customer from2.06 in 2005 to 2.17 in 2006. On the product side, we have launched new services to differentiate us from our competitors. In 2006, we completed the roll-out of our video on demand services (VOD) and significantly increased the content available on our VOD platform. We will continue to exploit our technological superiority and provide customers with added value by increasing the amount of on-demand content from over 2,000 hours to 6,000 hours by the end of 2007. In February 2007, we launched an innovative new interactive channel Virgin Central, which showcases some of our best on-demand content. We also completed the roll- out of our digital video recorder (DVR) service, V+. We believe this is the best DVR in the U.K. as it is high-definition (HD) compatible, has full VOD capability, three tuners and 80 hours recording time. We have grown our broadband customer base to over 3 million, having added 453,000 net broadband customers on a pro forma basis, even though many new entrants have entered the market. We will build upon our success by enhancing our existing service. From June, the top tier will be doubled to 20Mb. We are also trialing a 50Mb service for our residential customers. In addition, our new Virgin Media broadband portal which launched last month is already a top portal in the U.K. Telecommunications in the U.K. faces some challenges, such as fixed-to-mobile telephone substitution and aggressive broadband pricing. We intend to compete vigorously in these areas with our quadruple play offering, significantly improved customer services and innovative products such as our Talk Anywhere telephone service, which offers bundled packages of fixed-line minutes. In our content division, our television channels such as Living TV, the UKTV channels and Bravo, have improved television ratings over 2006 and we are adding several new and exciting programs to our existing lineup, which should further enhance ratings. Advertising revenues have grown, outperforming the market. However, our subscription revenue will be down in 2007 due to onerous rates imposed by BSkyB. We have brought a claim in the High Court of Justice against them for anticompetitive conduct. Virgin Media will not stand on the sidelines but will engage its available resources to compete effectively. Our business division has continued to face challenging market conditions particularly in the provision of voice, wholesale and other services, but data services continue to perform well and are up 10% on a pro forma basis in the year. We believe that in the long term our outlook remains promising through continued focus on data services. In summary 2006 has been an important milestone for us. The scale benefits following our corporate acquisitions; our rebrand to Virgin Media; changing our internal culture towards even greater customer focus; bringing the fight to satellite television; improvements in our operations and the establishment of a stable management team, are all significant achievements. Needless to say this is due to the tremendous efforts of our employees and we would like to thank them all for their contributions to the business. It is a result of their efforts that we feel our company is well positioned for the future. James F. Mooney Stephen A.

  • Virgin Media Submission
    NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION VIRGIN MEDIA LIMITED OFCOM INVESTIGATION INTO THE UK PAY TV INDUSTRY1 SUPPLEMENTARY SUBMISSION OF 15 AUGUST 2008 1. INTRODUCTION: UK PAY TV CONSUMERS CAN BE BETTER SERVED 1.1 In January 2007, Virgin Media Limited ("Virgin Media"), together with British Telecommunications plc, Setanta Sport Holdings Limited and Top Up TV Europe Limited (together, "the Parties"), jointly made a submission to Ofcom demonstrating that competition in the UK pay TV market is not working effectively, and calling for Ofcom to make a market investigation reference to the Competition Commission. In this initial submission, a number of subsequent submissions and responses to numerous information request responses2, Virgin Media has provided voluminous evidence of market failure and highlighted specific areas of consumer detriment which result from this market failure. 1.2 Consumers would be demonstrably better off if steps were taken to remedy the features of the market which are preventing, restricting or distorting competition in the supply of pay TV in the UK. Against that background, this supplementary submission provides: (a) further evidence that consumers are not being well served by the current market structure; and (b) [CONFIDENTIAL], a more detailed explanation of the ways that Virgin Media could innovate (and the types of offerings consumers could expect to see) were the distorting features of the market corrected. 1.3 Ofcom has a discretion under section 131 of the Enterprise Act ("EA") to make a market investigation reference to the Competition Commission where: "… it has reasonable grounds to suspect that any feature, or combination of features, of a market in the United Kingdom for goods and services prevents, restricts or distorts competition in connection with the supply or acquisition of any goods or services in the United Kingdom or a part of the United Kingdom." 1.4 There can be no question such "reasonable grounds" have been established since the inception of this process approximately nineteen months ago.

  • The Transition to Digital Television*
    DIGITAL TELEVISION 1 The Transition to Digital Television* Jérôme Addaa and Marco Ottavianib University College London; London Business School This paper studies the role of economic policy for the transition from analogue to digital television, with particular attention to the switch off of the analogue terrestrial signal. The analogue signal cannot be credibly switched off until almost all viewers have migrated to digital, due to universality of access to television. But before switch off, only part of the population can be reached with the digital signal. In addition, those who are reached need to spend more to upgrade their reception equipment than after switch off, because the capacity to increase the power of the digital signal will be made available only then. After reviewing the competitive structure and the role of government intervention in television markets, we present the early experience of a number of industrialised countries in the transition to digital television. We then formulate a micro-econometric model of digital television adoption by individual viewers. The model is calibrated to UK data and simulated to predict the impact of government policies on the take up of digital television. Policy makers can affect the speed of take up of digital television by: (i) controlling the quality of the signals and the content of public service broadcasters; (ii) intervening in the market for digital equipment with subsidies; and (iii) publicising the conditions and date of switch off of the analogue signal. We find that if the analogue terrestrial signal is switched off conditionally on aggregate adoption, strategic delays possibly arise and expectations affect the success of the switch off policy.

  • Question 3.1: Do You Agree with Ofcom’S Proposal to Set Synchronised Charge Controls for LLU and WLR?
    NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION OFCOM CHARGE CONTROL REVIEW FOR LLU AND WLR SERVICES – CONSULTATION ISSUED 31 MARCH 2011 RESPONSE BY EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE LIMITED A. INTRODUCTION Everything Everywhere Limited (EE) welcomes the opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s important consultation on the next charge control review for local loop unbundling (LLU) and wholesale line rental (WLR) services, issued on 31 March 2011 (the Consultation). This Consultation is of key commercial and competitive significance for the success of EE’s Orange Home fixed voice and broadband business going forward. In this regard we note that, whilst during the course of 2011 we have been moving from a direct shared metallic path facility (SMPF) and WLR based mode of providing these retail services to providing our retail services through a wholesale arrangement with BT, [][]. The comments in this response represent the views of EE. It should be noted that the views of EE’s shareholders and those of the holding companies and ultimate parent companies may vary from these views. Those parts of this response marked with [] and highlighted in blue are confidential to EE. B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EE’s experience of LLU regulation and market conditions in the UK as an SMPF based service provider has been a telling one. Most notably, following the initial successes of Ofcom LLU policy in stimulating SMPF based retail broadband competition, progressive changes to regulatory investment ladder have resulted in us witnessing over the last five years the market exit of a very large proportion of the SMPF “early adopters” (e.g. Tiscali, AOL, Pipex, Bulldog). In May 2011, we have also seen the total number of unbundled lines in the UK falling rather than growing for the first time in several years, from 7.62 million lines in April 2011 to 7.56 million lines in May 20111.
