so what you're saying is because BT was previously owned by the tax payer it is a different case? ok the tax payer financed the building up of the BT network but when it was privatised the money paid for the shares returned that finance back to the tax payer - or are you saying the BT share issue was done on the condition that it didn't include the core network? or are you saying the BT share issue didn't fully compensate the tax payer for the value of the network?
