BT’s TalkTalk deal leaves creditors facing losses
BT agreed to buy struggling broadband provider TalkTalk, but most of TalkTalk’s creditors were expected to recover nothing, the Financial Times reported. The transaction also put Britain’s competition regulator in a difficult position because it normally scrutinises reduced telecoms competition closely, while the report said it was taking a less active role this time.
Why it matters
The rescue may stabilise TalkTalk while concentrating the broadband market and imposing substantial losses on its creditors.
