A few things that strike me in the light of the letter.
Wasn't it only a few days ago that BT confirmed that the trials would go ahead soon? With that letter in the background?
Surely BT must have known about the letter at the AGM when it was stated that the trials would begin in a couple of weeks.
It's very unlikely that they didn't know about the letter, but if they didn't, the bunker will be in a tizz tonight.
I wonder who leaked it. I doubt it was HMG. Maybe a miffed EU commission, fed up with being ignored? Just like we have been fobbed off.
Can you imagine the buck passing in Whitehall that must have been going on?
In all of this, involving HMG, BT and Phorm, it's the latter who is the tiddler, the one likely to be lined up by the other two to carry the can somehow. But then Kent has a big gob. Maybe he knows things that would be acutely embarrassing to HMG and BT.
I think that mainstream media coverage is not far off. Bags of it.
