Vodafone is to begin offering broadband internet service to its consumer customers on 8 January 2007.

For £25 per month, customers will get broadband with speeds of up to 8Mbps and 25 per cent off mobile-to-mobile calls.

"Innovation for innovation's sake, that's not interesting."

Vodafone announced a couple of months ago it would resell DSL from BT Wholesale under its own brand.

Under the scheme, the mobile operator can sell broadband access across the UK without having to invest in local loop unbundling, where companies fit their own gear in BT's exchanges – the tactic favoured by Orange Broadband, née Wanadoo, and Cable & Wireless.
