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.)
