C&W is divesting itself of a lot of "real estate" these
days. It struck a deal with Primus concerning its
voice customers (last week), now its DSL customers to
New Edge.
Moreover, the BBC reports today that C&W is cutting 3500 jobs
worldwide and "also announced heavy losses." C&W announced
that it was cutting 23 of its 42 "data centres around the
world."
(The losses this past year exceed $6.5 Billion.)
