A reporter for BBC News was tipped off today about the sale of AOLs UK based operations - offering dial-up and broadband internet access.

BBC business editor Robert Peston said Carphone Warehouse, owner of the TalkTalk broadband and phone offering, was paying £370m for the operation.

Yes this is big news for the UK ISP business and Carphone Warehouse. I am kind of surprised that Vodafone didn't buy AOL UK, as they don't own a UK ISP and Orange and 02 now do.
