BTo takes ADSL to the high street

Well, some high streets

BTopenworld has teamed up with high street electrical retailer Maplin to show off its business-class broadband service.

SMEs will be able try out the service before deciding whether they want to fork out for the high-speed Net access.

What's more, with more than 65 retail stores and in excess of 400,000 customers in the UK, Maplin will provide a "significant high street presence for BTopenworld", says BTo.

To begin with, though, the demos will be taking place in only eleven stores - not 65. Which is significant, but probably for other reasons. ®
