Milo - it appears we may have a yet another 'hoodwinking' by the 'system' on what is being sold here. The sooner OfCom flash their rubber teeth and sort this out the better. Whether 'Dear Jeremy' will have enough time in office, of course, before the door hits his backside on the way out..........................
We are diverging as usual from track, but.........

I think it extremely unlikely that BT will ever 'unbundle Infinity' due to the antiquated way it is distributed via new PCPs, each of which has the necessary VSlam installed and is linked to the E-side and D-side lines at each original PCP. I can see (under pressure!!) BT being forced to offer PIA to other providers for their fibre supply INTO the new PCPs but that would require, as with Rutland Telecom/Gigaclear, the 'other' putting in either a new PCP for FTTC or termination point into a FTTP network, or of course into a fixed wireless network as I am working towards here is Sussex (40mb). However, as Rutland and others have discovered, doing 'straight' deals with BT. is a task for Dr Faustus.
Meanwhile, of course, the UK waits breathlessly to hear from the government which of the 9 (no, 3) (no, 2) major bidders will prevail for the £530 million. I wonder.......? 2 letters, beginning with B and ending with T perhaps?
