BT Livebox, O2 Imagenio

Everybody's chasing Orange. BT is launching what looks like its answer to Orange Livebox - a home gateway package called Total Broadband including broadband, WiFi and VoIP, together with Fusion and apparently 370 GBP of goodies thrown in.
And O2 is acquiring broadband ISP Be for 50 million GBP, on behalf of Telefonica's international broadband strategy.
Nice heads up to our FMC briefing, going to press this week - read it in the July issue of TT mag. AD Little said back in February this would be the year of FMC and its been hard to keep up with operator announcements the last few days. On Friday Swisscom said it reorganised the whole group for FMC.
