BSkyB set for £450m Tiscali deal James Ashton
BSKYB has entered exclusive talks to acquire Tiscali, the troubled internet provider, after rival bidder Carphone Warehouse walked away from the long-running auction.

The satellite broadcaster, 39% owned by News Corporation, parent of The Sunday Times, is understood to have lodged an indicative bid of about £450m for the Italian company's UK operation. The price may fall further after more due diligence.

If Sky goes ahead with the acquisition it would become Britain's third-largest broadband supplier with 3.6m customers, leapfrogging Carphone and putting it within touching distance of Virgin Media, which hopes to add to its 3.8m-strong base when it reports third-quarter figures on Thursday...............

Rik sent me this URL, the title of which suggests it's £450. He thought that was too expensive. ;)

£4.50 should have covered it.  ;D
