Breathe Networks Limited (BNL) has acquired small UK ISP Fast4 for an undisclosed sum as part of a merger with NJP Services Limited. As a result, NJP’s directors, Steve Kaye and Nick Pulsford, will become Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technical Officer of BNL respectively, taking over responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the combined company:


BNL will reportedly continue to operate Fast4 independently, alongside its other brands, which include breathe, macunlimited, Ecosse, Intensive Networks and Bush Internet.

It's also understood that the company has a number of new product launches planned for 2008, although no further details have been released at this time. It is not known whether the move will impact any of NJP's existing supply contracts, such as with Redten Internet.

UPDATE: We've been informed that the deal will not impact NJP's existing contracts (e.g. Redten).
