The Carphone Warehouse Group (U.K. market), which might formerly have been thought of as an electronics retailer, now points out how much communications service distribution channels can change.
Carphone Warehouse now has 2.6 million Digital Subscriber Line customers. It is by no means certain that mass market retailers in other markets will do as well, but both Best Buy, Office Depot and Circuit City, for example, are distribution channels in the U.S. market, with differing degrees of active involvement in the integration and broadband access businesses. In the U.S. market, Best Buy has taken the boldest steps by buying Speakeasy, a national provider of DSL connections.
