It now wants to use the power firms infrastructure to expand in rural and semi-rural areas. Maybe Openreach is charging too much for access??

I suggested that ages ago, also in towns and cities like Westminster,they can use the sewers.

In Aberdeen the Cable service there ran along the BT infrastructure but due to insufficient funds,the company sold to Carphone Warehouse Group and CPW did not acquire the Cable TV assets and went into liquidation which means it now lies in disuse, if it was to have been taken over by NTL back in 1999, the same leasing arrangement would exist as the Milton Keynes and Westminster franchise. The Cable TV system there was Analogue and also needed millions to upgrade.
