History
1993 -
International CableTel (ntl's predecessor) was founded by Barclay
Knapp, CEO, and George Blumenthal, Chairman. The company acquired
the interests of Insight UK's cable systems comprising about
one million homes under franchise in cities such as Glasgow,
Cardiff, Newport and Guildford.
1995 -
CableTel acquired new franchises in Northern Ireland, and Glamorgan
and Gwent, increasing the number of homes and businesses within
ntl franchises to 2.3 million.
1996 -
CableTel changed its name to ntl after acquiring National
Transcommunications Limited. In the same year ntl formed
a joint venture with Virgin, for the launch of a dial-up internet
access service, to be known as Virgin Net.
In 2002, NTL filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy
reorganization and emerged the following year.
