Scuse me it wasn't bts network it was the taxpayers so everyone has a right to it . You didn't hear bt complaining when they were making obscene amounts in profit back in the 80 and early 90s , the sad part is bt did minimum amounts to its infrastructure when they were making huge profits. The only real advances came when cable laid its own telco network to challenge bts dominance and price gouging. So please cry me a river on the bt line it wont wash if you want real spending look at how much by and ntl spent and the smalelr cable firms they went billions into debt by building from scratch.
