NaDrew writes "A little early for April Fools, but according to this press release, Best Buy has acquired independent DSL provider Speakeasy. Speakeasy CEO Bruce Chatterly writes in an email to subscribers:
How long until Speakeasy's vaunted and highly professional support staff are replaced by the Geek Squad?"This is a significant milestone for our company as our new relationship will help us realize our goals of becoming the No. 1 provider of voice and data solutions to small businesses. It is important to note that though Speakeasy will now be a wholly owned subsidiary of Best Buy, we will continue to operate as a standalone, independent operating division with headquarters in Seattle.
