Carphone Warehouse will demerge its mobile phone retail business – a 50-50 joint venture with American retailer Best Buy – and move its broadband and fixed line telecoms assets into a new listed business, Talk Talk Group.

The new retail business plan will create up to 70 US-style electronics superstores in the UK by 2013, with each employing around 160 staff.
