Wanadoo Broadband From Energis
Posted: 17th Jun, 2004 By: MarkJ
The UK's largest ISP, Wanadoo (formerly Freeserve), has struck a blow to BT by switching the source of its broadband service to the Datastream (non-BT) model of Energis:
Eamonn O'Hare, Energis' chief financial officer, announced the deal as part of the company's latest financial results. He told ZDNet UK that Energis was aiming to be the main broadband provider for ISPs that don't want to buy their bandwidth from BT because they compete with BT's retail arm.
"We hope to be the sole provider for Wanadoo going forward," O'Hare said.
Wanadoo has confirmed that is has plumped for Energis's Datastream product, called ISPConnect. "We will be looking to implement this solution towards the end of this year," said a Wanadoo spokeswoman.
However, the ZDNet item goes on to report that Wanadoo will not be completely sidelining BT and states that the Energis deal will ensure a better choice of supply.
