Posted: 26th May, 2006 By: MarkJ

So far, C&W has installed its kit in 411 BT exchanges via Bulldog, its consumer-oriented broadband ISP, and expects this number to double by the end of September. But the telco is now looking at how it can squeeze even more cash out of its LLU investment beyond Bulldog.
The firm regards its LLU network as a "strategic asset" for its entire UK business and plans to use its LLU infrastructure to provide corporate customers with telecoms services.
"Local loop unbundling is a fundamental part of our UK corporate access strategy, which we will leverage in the future as part of our move to next generation and IP networks," said C&W, announcing its annual results to the end of March.
Its unclear quite what the news means, although it could be alluding to some sort of wholesale product. More @ The Register.
