What hope have for BT succeeding in the IT market.
Too much, they're the monopoly. But they still suck and have crap support.

I have said this before, but here goes. I shall never understand the
'thinking'? behind having the telephone system for a Western European
country run by a private company with shareholders. Crazy.

BT are the main reason, IMHO, that we are so far behind many other
European countries with our broadband speeds.

But Neil - surely you believe that commercial interests are much more capable of supplying the customers needs that a government owned one? There must be some logical reason why my work on a 2.4Gb fibre optic 'repeater' that would have cost <$5 was shelved twenty years ago.
It cant have been for the shareholders so it must have benefited someone....
