	BBC NEWS \| Technology \| Wanadoo ups basic broadband speed
		Wanadoo and many other large net firms are facing competition from cable firms such as NTL and others that already sell broadband services that run at very high speeds.
		Wanadoo said it was planning to take over more BT lines in Leeds and Bristol and start doing the same in London, Manchester and Birmingham so it can offer the 8Mbps service to about 12% of the UK population.
		Within a year Wanadoo, formerly Freeserve, hopes to have unbundled lines in 500 exchanges to cover 40% of the population.

	broadband » Detail : Wanadoo
		I rang Wanadoo who quite happily informed me that "Yes that does happen with our broadband, you just have to put up with it." I said I was putting up with nothing I was paying BT the telephone company for these services and I wanted them.
		To be fair to Wanadoo they credited all my money back to me and restarted the account and included an amount that I had claimed for the number of phonecalls.
		Also bear in mind that the range of the Wanadoo livebox is pityful - I have a wired connection throught Nildram(Netgear Router) which can stretch further than the Livebox and I would recommend either company to anyone looking for a new ISP in the UK, their contract is monthly btw.

	EU upholds antitrust fine on Wanadoo - Boston.com
		EU regulators fined Wanadoo in 2003 after finding that it charged "predatory prices" that did not cover its own costs as part of a plan to take control of the high-speed market in its early stages.
		Wanadoo challenged this ruling, claiming there was nothing wrong with its pricing and it did not have a monopoly-type position in the fast-growing internet market.
		It also rejected Wanadoo's claim that it did not control the market, saying it had a very high market share -- eight times more ADSL subscribers than its next rival.

	Europe: Brussels to scrutinise Wanadoo accounts
		Wanadoo, which also owns Freeserve in the UK, had argued that its cut-price policy was helping to expand the French market, to the benefit of consumers and competitors.
		Five documents obtained from Wanadoo executives showed that Wanadoo sought "not just to be market leader, but to acquire and retain a large share of the [ADSL] market." Three documents "evoking the objective of market pre-emption came from formal management meetings".
		Wanadoo's strategy, the Commission found, had taxed the financial capacity of its rivals to compete.

	Wanadoo rebuked over 8Mbps broadband claims - ZDNet UK News
		In an adjudication published on Wednesday, the ASA ruled that Wanadoo had misled customers by not making it clear that speeds of 8Mbps were only available in some parts of the country.
		Wanadoo can offer an 8Mbps service because it has installed its own kit in BT's local exchanges.
		Wanadoo estimated that just 55 percent of the people at its unbundled exchanges would be able to get the full 8Mbps.

	France Telecom to bid for Wanadoo - International Business - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
		The bid, which it said represents a 17.2 percent premium to Wanadoo's Friday closing price of 7.56 euros, values Europe's second-biggest ISP at around 13 billion euros and would give the parent company access to its cash pile of two billion euros.
		Wanadoo earned 30 million euros in 2002, its first annual profit, as it signed up more users for lucrative high-speed services.
		France Telecom said it planned to spin off and float 30 to 49 percent of Wanadoo's phone directory business in the second quarter of this year, making the overall deal cash neutral for the heavily-indebted firm, despite an initial two billion-euro pay-out.

		The Freeserve name is to be no more, with the company's most recent owners, Wanadoo (Europe's #1 ISP, which is owned by France Telecom), deciding to put the ISP under the main company name instead.
		Wanadoo's thinking behind the re-branding is to get away from the "low-tech" connotation it feels is associated with the Freeserve name.
		Instead, Wanadoo wants the ISP to be seen as a mature provider for the current two million customers it has.

	Ian Fogg - Wanadoo Orange
		Ignoring for a moment, the imminent re-brand of Wanadoo to Orange...
		Orange UK's launch of bundled 2Mbps Wanadoo broadband for ukp9.99 is attractively priced, if contract conditions are ignored.
		While Orange stores in central London are already pushing the offer, Wanadoo itself is not marketing the offer on its website, presumably to discourage existing customers from downgrading from their existing higher priced broadband (ukp17.99 and up).

	CNN.com - France Tel to bid for Wanadoo - Feb. 23, 2004
		The state-controlled telecom company said it planned to float Wanadoo's phone-directory business in the second quarter of 2004, and that, depending on the outcome of the offering, this could add a premium to the Wanadoo offer.
		France Telecom, which swung back to profit last year after massive restructuring aiming to fix its debt-heavy balance sheet, said the phone-directory flotation would cancel out the costs of the deal, meaning it would be cash neutral.
		The company also said that Wanadoo shareholders who tendered their shares to the offer would receive France Telecom's 2003 dividend payout, which it has said will be 0.25 euros.
