C&W buys Bulldog

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/05..._buys_bulldog/

Set up in 2000, Bulldog has carved out a broadband niche, often using its
own equipment to act as principal supplier, rather than as a simple reseller
for BT Wholesale. The firm has installed its own gear in 38 BT exchanges in
central London, installed under local loop unbundling (LLU) rules.

Francesco Caio, C&W chief executive, said Bulldog has an experienced team
specialising in LLU services and the acquisition will accelerate the firm's
ability to deliver direct DSL connections. ®

Oh dear, time to leave Bulldog. C&Ws customer service may even be worse than
Bulldogs.

Do you think the bosses at NTL would know how to do a buyout? I doubt
it...they can't even run their own company, never mind someone else's.

And part of it was the purchase of C&W's domestic telephone side.
