BT Shelves Potential Dixons Deal
Posted: 06th Jun, 2003 By: MarkJ
BT has admitted that held talks with Dixons about replacing UK ISP Freeserve in a key distribution (CDs etc.) deal. However, it does not currently intend to proceed with the idea:
A spokesman for BT told The Register "Yes, we have had held talks with Dixons but we're not going ahead with it at the moment."
Although BT declined to say why, it's understood that the telco was concerned that a distribution deal to promote its Internet services in DSG shops was likely to face objections from rivals.
Today's confirmation from BT follows a report at the weekend, which claimed that BT and AOL UK were holding secret talks with DSG that could result in ousting Freeserve from DSG stores.
