I am sure that somewhere along the line, NTL have looked into it and decided the extra revenue generated wouldn't cover the costs of installation.

After all, upgrading an exchange that supports thousands of users is not something to be done lightly. It takes planning, testing etc. That costs money. That's totally ignoring the cost of the hardware (in somecases) and software needed for the exchange, together with the cost of engineers to install it.

It would cost NTL ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£millio ns to upgrade for Caller ID. Would they get that money back? I doubt it.

BTW Debsy, that's not aimed at you. Its not aimed at anyone in particular.
