Tiscali to Rebrand Toucan & Launch Quad-Play
Posted: 04th Jan, 2008 By: MarkJ
Tiscali UK, which is currently a triple-play provider offering fixed-line voice, broadband and television (IPTV) services, is to branch out even further with the introduction of a mobile phone package.
The move, which would enable it to offer a quad-play service, involves re-branding its recent ToucanMobile acquisition under the Tiscali name and reaching an agreement with one of the country's major mobile operators:
The Telegraph.co.uk's report anticipates a service launch towards the end of 2008 (fourth quarter), which would place it in direct competition with Virgin Media's own quad-play offerings.
The move, which would enable it to offer a quad-play service, involves re-branding its recent ToucanMobile acquisition under the Tiscali name and reaching an agreement with one of the country's major mobile operators:
Ms Turner plans to rebrand ToucanMobile - which launched two years ago and has just 7,000 customers and leases space on T-Mobile's network - under the Tiscali banner.
Tiscali will use its customer base as the nucleus of the new business. The contract with T-Mobile has under a year left to run, but is not exclusive and Tiscali is already talking to other major network owners in search of the right terms.
The mobile section of the business is likely to be sold as part of a package of services by Tiscali, which already offers TV, voice calls and internet connections.
