Bit more info on this one that I found in another group,
http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2905857
I think BT are being a bit vague on this one though.


I found another source of info on this story, the final
paragraph is the most revealing - reading between the lines it appears
that BT may have installed the cable on the wrong side of this chap's
boundary, and are now looking to resite the boundary...

I'm not sure that I'd read that into it at all.

It is very common for there to be a services strip at the edge of a
property next to the road. I have one about a metre wide at the end
of my drive where it connects with the road. It's marked either side
with stone inserts at the edges of the drive.

AIUI, it is my property, but any organisation delivering services
(e.g. cables, pipes, etc.) has an automatic wayleave to use this area
as long as they make good afterwards.

The fences at the sides of the drive go all the way to the road and
belong to me.

Given that scenario, it is easy to figure out what could have happened
in this instance.
