Re: Brexit opportunity...

To be fair, although the veto was ultimately given by the EU, it was a political decision driven by Ofcom and the UK competition authority who made it clear they didn't want the deal to happen and made it clear with very public letters in the media. If they had said 'Yes, we want it' and the EU had said 'no' then it would have been much more sticky.

So don't blame the EU here who have been the monkey, blame the UK authorities who pushed the EU into a corner on it, yet let the considerably more dangerous BT/EE deal fly through unchecked.
