Re: Expand the cable network
BT are not, all underground for new build. Makes sense anyway, I imaging Fibre to the Home will not be happy on poles.

The underground build cost is what left the cable networks in this sorry state in the first place. The document I linked to earlier in this thread highlighted the fact that this takes 70+% of the capital investment, leaving less to be invested in the technology. Thus IMHO compared to Sky who lease a Sat, space and invest in the technology platform cable is going to struggle to keep up until the infrastructure build cost becomes a legacy issue (as it effectivly is for BT).
