Planet Online
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Planet Online was a UK business to business Internet Service Provider in Leeds that was acquired by Energis in 1998 and stopped being called Planet Online in around 2000. It also provided back-end infrastructure to a number of consumer ISPs, including Freeserve prior to its takeover by France Telecom.
It was started by local businessman and multi-millionaire Paul Sykes in 1995, and became one of the UK's few profitable ISPs.
