From what he said he clearly knew about webwise and did not like it, telling me the following :-

1) The trial is likely to launch during the early stages of the Olympics, in an attempt to avoid the News "Silly Season".

2) It is likely that if the trial starts, at least 2 very damaging BT documents will leak. One of which will be from a BT group company outside BT Retail.

As I say, no evidence, but the next few days will tell.
If this is true it's yet another example of being 'open and transparent' (BT's definition)! It reminds me of the time the government tried to "bury" bad news (and the resulting scandle!).
