維珍傳媒通過與光纖寬帶公司Siro達成協議，將其電視和寬帶覆蓋愛爾蘭的45萬戶家庭。該協議將使維珍獲得Siro 45萬多客戶的接入權，這些客戶大多位於沒有維珍有線或光纖網絡的地區。這是維珍傳媒首次與競爭對手的網絡公司達成大型電視和寬帶協議。這也意味著，近年來電視市場份額不斷下降的維珍現在將能夠向全國超過三分之二的人口推銷其服務。Siro是ESB和沃達豐的合資企業，專門為愛爾蘭的大型城鎮和服務不足的城市地區提供單獨的光纖寬帶網絡。該公司表示，它最終打算在154個城鎮建立77萬間店麵的網絡。作為一個批發網絡，它擁有20家零售商，將其寬帶服務轉售給居民和商業客戶。去年，該公司推出了愛爾蘭首個2g寬帶服務。此前，愛爾蘭國家寬帶公司(NBI)最近透露，每5個可以接入國家補貼服務的家庭中就有1個成為用戶。最近，NBI的兩大股東——總部位於倫敦的橡樹山顧問公司和美國投資機構Twin Point Capital——達成了一項交易，將其近80%的股權出售給總部位於馬德裏的Asterion Industrial Partners。 Details of the price it is paying for Oak Hill's 49pc stake and the 25pc owned by Twin Point Capital have not been disclosed. 7 Things: Adrian Weckler on Tech Tech’s stars and turkeys rounded up and served to you every Friday by Ireland’s No. 1 technology writer.

Virgin’s move comes amid ongoing speculation about Virgin Media’s future, with persistent speculation linking Liberty Global’s Irish asset with a Vodafone merger. “At Virgin Media we are always pushing the boundaries of speed and service delivery for our customers,” said Virgin Media chief executive Tony Hanway. “Today’s announcement increases our network reach to 70pc of all the premises in Ireland. "Our new partnership with SIRO means we will be offering our market-leading ultrafast broadband and TV services to more Irish consumers and businesses than ever before.” Related topics
