Having just reported its first operating profit since being taken over by its bankers during mid-2002, ISP and network supplier Energis is now eyeing the LLU broadband market:
Dial-up internet traffic fell £67m as more users migrated to broadband. Energis said this would not effect Energis in the current financial year, but increased broadband take up is expected to generate large future revenues.
John Pluthero, chief executive of Energis, has told the FT that Energis was looking at making big investments in Local Loop Unbundling (LLU) so that it could carry broadband traffic on its own network. He said he could envisage Energis unbundling "hundreds of BT exchanges" to provide wholesale broadband services to its customers.No doubt Ofcom and the government would welcome further investment in the slow to evolve LLU market.
