European
multi-national communication company. They specialize in
hostile takeovers of ISPs, and are rapidly becoming the leading "
broadband" supplier in Europe. The company is closely connected to
UPC, but Chello is the Internet-only division, while UPC is cable TV and programming.
Chello is basically a Dutch company, with company ties all over Europe. There was talk of a merger with @home, but the deal fell trough.
