Thats an indication of just how secret this has been within BT, keeping it from people who would instantly recognise it for what it was.

My one hope is that those same experts are able to ensure that any little black boxes BTR (residential customers only - no homeworkers, SOHO and SME working from home?) adds to 'monitor' the personal use by their customers does not also sit on the same routers which are used by BTR business and the independent ISPs who also purchase network capacity from BTW.
Just now I go from my router direct to the ISP network router, and that is all I ever want to see.
