Title: Loss making Onetel up for sale.
Post by bigjohn on Sep 17th, 2005 at 10:06am
I noticed in the media recently that Onetel and its subsidiaries(JustDial,Justdialsaver,Ratebuster etc etc) make a loss and its now up for grabs.

I wonder who might purchase it.

Does this mean that Centrica is relieving itself of these subsiduaries?   :o

It's strange because Onetel only just bought out Telco Global... I don't get it ???

I think it's more to do with the Board at Centrica making a strategic business decision to concentrate on the energy business, which is under pressure.

Perhaps Telcomms no longer 'fits'. They used to own the AA which they sold off for a tidy profit, to spend on other things.

However, let's hope OneTel survive - we need competition!

Nooooooo! Not TalkTalk! :o :(

If they so much as touch Just-Dial Saver, I'll personally visit Charles Dunstone and shove a large cactus into him... ;D
