O2 buys broadband provider Be for £50mMobile phone operator O2 became the latest telecoms company to enter the fixed-line world on Tuesday with the acquisition of Be, the British broadband provider, for £50m.Be is building a national broadband network and expects to cover 50% of the UK population by the end of the year and two-thirds by late 2007. Peter Erskine, chairman and chief executive of O2, credited inspiration for the deal to O2's new owner, Spanish telecoms giant Telefonica, which acquired the business for £17.7bn last year, and O2's experience in other European markets. "The O2 group benefits greatly from the experience of Telefonica and insight into other markets such as the Czech Republic and Germany, where customers have clearly demonstrated a demand for integrated broadband and mobile packages. Building on our existing fixed/mobile capacity in Germany, the Czech Republic and Isle of Man, Be's superior broadband operations and services help us fulfil our previously stated aim of adding high quality broadband capability to our portfolio in the UK," he said.
Banker in slave job rapA BANK boss illegally shipped in immigrants from Africa to build his house and paid them as little as £1.36 an hour.
Pieter Van Rooyen, 46, founder and head of the Life Church in Douglas on the Isle of Man, paid slave wages and did not let the men out alone. The shamed dad of two resigned from Barclays Bank where he was a senior manager the day before his court appearance in Douglas. He and fellow South African Jacobus Frederick Visser, 43, an illegal immigrant, admitted providing travel and false documents for the men. Van Rooyen faked an invitation for the five workers and Visser, claiming they would take part in a business management course. Prosecutor Stuart Neale said Van Rooyen wanted his house in Onchan renovated on the cheap.

On the scene for weeks, Cooper recalls the immediacy of the need just to survive and of the serious wound inflicted by the storm. "When (Coast Guard Pilot Lt. Roerick) sleeps," Cooper relayed in one report, "she still sees the faces of people waiting to be rescued. ‘You go to bed at night completely exhausted,’ she says, ‘knowing there are still thousands of people out there.
Monday Newspaper Review - Irish Business News and International ...The Irish Independent reports that the runaway property market is finally beginning to cool and some homes are even seeing a drop in prices for the first time in more than a decade.Estate agents said yesterday they had seen the first evidence of a "soft landing" after years of astounding growth.
