IMO that's exactly the sort of stunt they would pull.

A small leak about this sort of thing could have fueled the mini-recovery in the share price we saw about a month ago.

BTW, the shares seem to be moving in the opposite direction to which I would have expected, given yesterday's announcement of the strategic alliance with the ICO. Good volumes as well.

Perhaps money bods get nervous when big companies feel the need to use the law to gag critics.
I'm not capable of interpreting this, but I am beginning this week, to see occasional blank pages when I attempt to refresh a web page especially within the BT sites. For example I just clicked on the BT logo on the top of the Beta forum page. Result, blank page with Done in the status bar, and www.bt.com in the address bar. Took three refreshes to get the BT Home page to actually display.

Looking at the Dephormation logs reveals a request (among all the cookie data, my primary BT email address and the .js requests) to
http://www.bt.com/static/includes/ho...//logging.html
which does give a blank page. - I wonder if it is sticking there - and why?

Please note ICO - this is a little technical trial, I can't be breaking any laws, and anyway it would be too difficult to explain owing to the technical nature of my investigation so you just carry on chasing Mrs Miggins.

Incidentally the url above
http://www.touchclarity.com/
is also completely blank and has no source code either. But no error message.

Seems to be on my MVPS supplied hosts file under
# [Omniture][Wildcard DNS]
Interesting?
