In Virgin Media mops up CEO's 'boll*cks' outburst

IT Angle

The UK cable industry got limited regional monopolies and hefty tax credits to encourage them to roll a cable infrastructure. Now that has turned into a complete monopoly isn't it time to apply to Virgin Media the terms we applied to BT. Force them to sell wholesale bandwidth and provide access by 3rd parties to their cable infrastructure.

Then we can get on with the business of offering limited monopolies and hefty tax credits to people who want to build out fibre to the home.
