Tiscali is set to outsource support for the Pipex Broadband and Voice
services to cheaper countries such as North Africa and India starting in January
2008.
The bad news is that it could mean the end of up to 650 job losses in it's UK
call centres, which will start in January and take place over three stages until
April.
"Following the acquisition of The Pipex broadband and voice
division in September, alignment of our key operations is important
to ensure we maximise the opportunity for the Tiscali UK Group
moving forward."
"Where we can make decisions we are moving forward quickly, but we
are in an internal consultation process with employees and will not
discuss specific plans or sites outside of that." |

The Italian owned telco acquired Pipex for £210m in September which netted it
an additional 570,000 broadband and voice customers.
