Re: Leave BT alone
while the competitive real telecommunication companies get on with giving this country a proper fibre network.
Nothing has been stopping them doing that, but perhaps they would rather offload the risk of the ROI being less than they want by demanding that "someone else" (BT with or without Taxpayers' money) commit to all the capital expenditure and work involved while they (the somewhat elusive "real telecommunications companies") get access on a wholesale basis, charge their customers a significant mark - up and possibly offer crap customer support thereafter.
Perhaps you could list the "real telecommunications companies" that you are referring to, just in case they aren't the usual suspects who spend a lot of time badgering Ofcom into getting them if not a free ride, a heavily discounted one.
