Thats the point, its a market thats currently unfilled and has little awareness.
Touting wireless BB, security, free calls over the internet in one box supplied by good old trusty BT would be very popular and easy money from BTs view... now that customer have the hub, they're more likely to stick with their overpriced broadband and phone line.
Whether its good value or not is another matter.... these are the people that probably would have bought a crappy belkin router from PC world if they hadn't got the hub anyway.
