Odd move for a retailer?

Carphone Warehouse is to implement a billing system from Intec.
Europe's largest mobile phone retailer, which has in recent times started to offer its own branded fixed-line voice, mobile and broadband services across 10 countries, has signed a "multi-million pound licence and services agreement" with the business and operations systems support specialist.
The product in question is Intec's Singl.eView platform, which the companies describe as "a true tier-one billing solution", putting Carphone Warehouse in the same league as well-known fixed and mobile network operators.
Led by CEO Charles Dunstone, Carphone Warehouse has grown in recent times partly by moving into new areas. At the end of last year, it touted memory card versions of music albums and the purchase of a billing platform shows the retailer's ambitions to enter telecoms as more than a pure virtual network operator.
