Probably something more on the lines of 'if we have a competition then we can use the info collected for a spam campaign'On 04/10/2010 15:47, Henry Bremridge wrote:Possibly they're thinking 'if we just ask people they'll ignore us, but if we ask while offering the chance of winning something we'll get more responses'?Aggghhhhh http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/oct/04/bt-broadband BT says it will carry out a "nationwide survey" to establish the demand among communities for high-speed broadband based on fibre-optic cable – setting areas in competition against one another, with the prize being an upgrade to faster internet connectivity. The company will be running the survey as a competition, which will continue to the end of the year: BT says it will "enable communities to express their desire for the service. This will help BT identify 'hot spots' where demand is high and influence the company's future deployment plans." So far, 4m premises are "within reach" of BT's fibre broadband, but that must grow beyond 16m for BT to reach its target of delivering high-speed fibre-optic broadband to two thirds of the UK by 2015.How the heck do you determine high demand through a competition? (I like BTbecause ...?)Julian
