o2 (now Sky) is splashing out £50m to buy tiddly LLU outfit Be as part of an ambitious plan to offer broadband alongside its own mobile services.
Be only has about 10,000 customers - but that's not why o2 (now Sky) is buying the broadband operator. Instead, the cellco is interested in Be's infrastructure.
Based on ADSL2+, Be's network offers speeds up to 24 meg, and so far it's installed its kit in around 150 BT exchanges and plans to take that number to around 400 (serving half of the UK population) by the end of the year.
