BT is looking to target online gamers with two Net access services, according to internal documents seen by El Reg.
The telco is looking to offer BT Together Gaming, which is believed to be an unmetered narrowband offering specifically targeted at gamers.
It is also looking at a faster 128Kbps service dubbed "Project Pistachio" that it claims would help meet demand for speedier access until current "broadband issues are resolved".
Exact details of both initiatives are not known.
Nor is it known when BT intends to launch the services.
When we tried to find out more a spokesman for BTopenworld said he hadn't got a clue what we were on about. ®
