ISP Tiscali has confirmed its intention to invest £61m into the UK's Local Loop Unbundling (
LLU) market, which it hopes will help secure a strong share of the ever-growing sector:
"The UK is an extremely attractive market, offering substantial growth opportunities which Tiscali plans to seize through significant investments, spending around 90 million over the next three years, on developing its selective unbundled network."
While this means that Tiscali UK should be able to offer competitive broadband services similar to the ones announced by another LLU ISP - UK Online - which unveiled an entry-level service for under £10 a month. The downside for punters, though, is the limited availability of these services.
Overall, Tiscali said it plans to invest more than 300 million in its core country operations - Italy, UK, The Netherlands, and Germany - principally on developing and completing unbundled network infrastructure.The unsurprising news forms part of Tiscali's European strategy until 2007. Certainly the disposal of its non-core assets have given it the ability to do this. More @

We just hope some of the cash goes into improving their customer support quality.
