Quad-play paying customers can watch TV programmes and films on demand, while downloading music and reading celebrity interviews on a mobile.
While a customer could get each digital service from a different supplier, quad-play suppliers offer the consumer all four services as a bundle, and usually at a discounted price.
The UK's first quad-play telecoms operator was created earlier this year as NTL completed its takeover of Virgin mobile.
The NTL quad package is £40 per month. Other telcos are expected follow suit soon.

Need to update the BT Business Units:
BT Internal Business Units changed in 2007: BT Exact more or less equates now to BT Design, the old BT Wholesale is now labelled BT Operate; the new BT Wholesale is now about wholesaling and is the smallest internal unit. BT Retail and BT Global Services remain pretty much as before.
