Virgin Net Ltd.
 PROFILE
Virgin Net hopes you'll take advantage of its Internet offerings regardless of your experience. The company operates one of the UK's leading information portal sites, offering a myriad of online services such as news and entertainment content, movie and music reviews, shopping, and travel arrangements, as well as e-mail, chat, and free Web space. Founded in 1996 as a joint venture between Richard Branson's Virgin Group and UK cable company NTL, Virgin Net also provided free and metered Internet service. In 2001 NTL's agreement to buy all of the ISP business from Sir Richard fell through, and the two co-owners have put the company on the market.
