Metro Cable did exactly the same with that franchise as they did with all their other pie in the sky ideas... Absolutely nothing!

At the time the company applied for that franchise it was running on a skeleton staff maintaining the few old small systems that it had not sold to CableTel/NTL.

I remember having a chuckling and expecting it to come to nothing when they were awarded the franchise, If I recall they were going to use 10GHz or 40GHz wireless links for trunk and distribution to keep civil costs to a minimum.

(There used to be a white paper online that was supplied to Ofcom showing their proposals, not sure if it's still about)
