True enough - I hope that they all do that. I can see BT pretending it's not there though as they can plan long term - spend a bit now to get people signed up on the basis of them subsidising them on the basis they can recoup the costs long term with the better network.

I seem to remember a while back, BT got the green light to charge more for these better services when they were available as a whole profitability thing/incentive to invest in them. I wonder if that will get revoked or not.
