Hopefully this will mean that they have the resources to speed up their exchange coverage programme...?

Spanish Telecommunications company Telefonica brought Be?

I wonder why??

The previous owner was not exactly short of a few million...

Telefonica/O2 are having a buying spree methinks.

I think 02 will be doing a mobile/broadband deal like orange are, seems to be the way things are going.

02 were also "sniffing" around Bulldog earlier. :eek:

Thats an odd one, Telefonica have already screwed up broadband in the uk once. Its not that long since Telefonica UK were sold off (well the assets). Why do it again? If they need to waste money I can think of a few bank accounts they can dump in it.

[Slightly OT] Great, so we lose another x-net mobile phone shop. Redundancies aplenty too no doubt. [/OT]
