Atlantic Telecom sleeps with the fishes

Atlantis, Atlantic, they've both gone the same way...

NEWS Atlantic Telecom has gone into administration, sending shockwaves through an already depressed industry. The move was taken after talks to restructure Atlantic's debt were suspended at 02:00 (BST) this morning. Shares in Altantic Telecom, once worth 1190p, were suspended earlier today at 5p, valuing the company at a mere £11m. One of Atlantic's biggest shareholders was Marconi, which has already written off £2bn of its investment in the company.
