BT eyeing Tiscali buy?
BT is eyeing up the UK division of Tiscali with a view to an acquisition, according to press reports. A report in The Times has fingered BT as a suitor for the Italian ISP - despite Tiscali's insistence its UK unit is not up for sale. BT declined to comment on "rumour and speculation". This is not the first time a suitor has been linked with Tiscali UK - back in April a Sunday Telegraph report suggested Vodafone had identified it as a possible takeover target. In separate broadband news, media reports suggest Orange has pulled out of the bidding to buy AOL's UK unit, leaving BSkyB and Carphone Warehouse - the two shortlisted suitors - to fight it out. AOL and Orange declined to comment on the reports. An AOL spokesman added that "negotiations are ongoing with a number of parties".
Thus snaps up two rivals in £70m spree
The UK broadband market is proving it's still got some consolidation energy left in it, with the news Thus is to acquire two rivals for some �70m and is selling off one arm of its ISP business, Demon. The two companies now joining the Thus stable are ISP, fixed-line provider and mobile B2B reseller Your Communications, bought for Thus shares equivalent to �58.8m, and northern business ISP Legend, acquired for a cash offer of �11.5m. The union with Your Communications will bring cost savings of around �25m annually as well as opening up new services, according to Thus. Legend will be integrated into the UK arm of Demon, which has to date been growing at a much slower rate than the DSL market. The ISP will be repositioned into a small business provider.
Orange widens broadband arsenal
Orange has been talking up its plans to be a mobile broadband provider, calling itself "the integrated operator", looking ahead to faster-than-3G HSDPA networks and bolstering its coverage in France using almost-3G Edge technology. Sanjiv Ahuja, Orange CEO, speaking at a press conference in Cannes at this week's 3GSM show, talked up the company's place alongside Equant and especially ISP Wanadoo in the France Telecom stable of companies. Part of the operator's 'Orange Everywhere' initiative is an end user being able to move seamlessly from a broadband session at home to one on the move, even using the same laptop. Ahuja said Orange is learning about broadband from Wanadoo, which in the UK was previously Freeserve. Orange is working with its existing main suppliers going forward but especially with Nortel for trials of HSDPA - which one executive described as "even better than broadband".
