From Forbes:
"Irrepressible Branson boldly announced several new ventures this year: he's starting a mobile phone venture in China, moving into bioethanol refining and publishing comic books. That's on top of ongoing initiatives to launch space flights and a U.S. airline. To fund the new activities Branson has been trying to generate cash: he is in the middle of selling part of Virgin Mobile UK to cable operator NTL and taking equity in a combined entity; he did a similar deal with short-haul carrier Virgin Express. His Australian endeavor, the airline Virgin Blue, is locked in a takeover battle. Last October Branson launched the "Branson School of Entrepreneurship at CIDA City Campus" in South Africa."
