    Liberty Media has agreed to buy France Telecom's Dutch cable TV unit, Casema, for EUR750 million. Liberty has been seeking to expand as rivals, such as France Telecom, struggle to cut debt and others, such as NTL, have filed for bankruptcy protection. Casema marks the company's first European takeover since German regulators blocked Liberty Media's purchase of six Deutsche Telekom networks in February.
    A pity they don't see any logic in investing in the companies they've already got.

    Speaking of the good sir knight, did anyone else find it comical that the website for Chorus' wireless service is being hosted on Unison? A decect Competition Authority would have hung, drawn and quartered O'Reilly a long time ago. Ours goes the opposite way, and hands him a monopoly on a plate. Dickheads.
