And until someone comes up with a 'value add' that gets a big buy in to
finance it it will continue to be by slow copper with the accountants
wringing the last pennies of profit from it. The cost of fibre to the
home is x2 too expensive at the moment, and has been so for some time.
The buy in needs to be something BIG, but in this tin pot country I
can't see it happening....Any ideas a what might trigger it?


Taking telecom's back into public ownership and then funding it from
taxation.

The fact is, this country would never have had a national telecom's service
if it had been left to the 'venture capalists' of the day, at best large
towns or cities would have been invested in (like Hull was) and there would
have been the railways own telecom's system.
