British telecommunications firm Cable & Wireless has agreed to purchase the assets of bankrupt Santa Clara, CA-based web-hosting firm Exodus Communications in a deal worth approximately $850 million. According to a filing with the London Stock Exchange, Cable and Wireless is picking up 26 of Exodus's 44 web-hosting centres. Four other centres not yet in use are also included.
