Energis Communications Limited, briefly Telecom Electric, was a telecommunication company based in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The company was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index, but subsequently went into administration, and then became a subsidiary of Cable & Wireless, in turn acquired by Vodafone.
History
The company was formed in July 1991, as Telecom Electric by way of a demerger from the United Kingdom's National Grid Company.[1] Its national optical fibre network was partially deployed via the overhead power transmission network of the grid. The company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange, and the NASDAQ, in October 1997.[1]
