Pedal to the metal (copper)

Cable & Wireless, reporting full year results to 31st March today, reveals that its Bulldog broadband unit has reached its 400 exchanges target seven months ahead of schedule, and is now to accelerate its unbundling rollout, adding 200 more this year, and again in 2006/07. The company is also launching a new SoHo product in June, including up to eight VoIP lines.

UPDATE: Do we sense that somehow BT is growing more concerned about the threat from full unbundling, or is this announcement pure coincidence?
