Sky mulls 'free broadband'
Sky has become the latest outfit to be linked with a move to provide cheap or "free" broadband, according to the Guardian.
The satellite TV outfit will cut the ribbon on its broadband access service later this year following its £211m acquisition of ISP Easynet. With a phone and broadband service bolted on to its existing TV operation, this would place it head-to-head with quad-play cableco NTL/Telewest, which is buying Virgin Mobile for £960m, and telco BT, which is launching its broadband TV service in autumn. According to The Guardian, execs are mulling a number of ideas including free broadband access to premium subscribers. Another option would be to offer cheap broadband. Either way, no decision has yet been made. Source: The Register
