Virgin has also signed a five-year deal to provide Sky Broadband with network backhaul (between exchanges and the wider internet), along with mobile backhaul from cell towers for Telefonica (owner of O2) and an un-named 'large UK mobile operator'.

During the quarter, we signed a significant ten-year deal with Telefonica UK for the provision of backhaul to 1,500 sites.

We have also secured significant orders under a framework agreement to support the creation of a UK-wide Aggregation Network for another large UK mobile network operator. This means that we now have material backhaul contracts with all the UK mobile network operators.

Additionally, we've secured a significant five-year backhaul contract with Sky, a major UK ISP.

All the mobile networks will need a pretty big back haul boost to supply any useable 4G services.
