Carphone Warehouse to buy AOL UK

psionandy, a Senior Member on Mobilitysite sent me an interesting news item that he saw about Carphone Warehouse buying AOL, UK. 

Andy said:

Carphone Warehouse is probably the biggest mobile phone seller in the UK.. and they've recently moved into reselling landlines, and offering their customers free broadband connections (as long as people use their phone service)

It will be interesting to see how they can deal with the AOL business model

Carphone Warehouse has won the auction to buy the UK's third-largest internet provider, AOL UK.

BBC business editor Robert Peston said Carphone Warehouse, owner of the TalkTalk broadband and phone offering, was paying £370m for the operation.

AOL UK has 2.1 million customers across the country - 600,000 on dial-up and 1.5 million with broadband connections.
