Surprised no one has replied to this. Fujitsu are linking some streets in Greasby, Wirral to their network (Halton Crescent is the first). I'm from the area and there's something about the estate involved in this Fujitsu trial that I find interesting and I wonder if someone can shed some light on.

There are Virgin Media street cabinets around the housing estate (a large one and a few small ones), manhole covers (NYNEX)... the works. But you cannot order cable and not one house has it installed. What's going on? Did they never turn it on there or something?

This to me would explain why those particular streets in Greasby were chosen by Virgin and Fujitsu for this trial.
