BBC news is reporting that CPW have agreed to purchase Tiscali for
about half the price they offered previously.  See:-   this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8039584.stm).

although i'm with TT at the moment i think it's rather not a good news.. less players on the market could mean higher prices for us customers..

Not only that delaro, but if TT move all their Tiscali, pipex, and other new customers onto their own LLU circuits, as rumoured,  there is likely to be a lot of congestion caused, with consequential deterioration in the TT service for all.   ???

There is an updated report of this development here (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/05/08/carphone_tiscali/).

Tiscali own a number of other broadband operations, including Bulldog, Pipex, Nildram and Freedom2Surf I believe.
