Some of them Hugh indeed.
I am feeling suitably awesome: as part of the Fibre for Middleton campaign Virgin were tapped up to deliver goodness and a sales pitch run. Looks as though they bit, however the council are what turned it from 8,000 premises passed to 10,000 then 11,000 and finally 80,000.
Virgin were previously reluctant to spend more than £300 per premises passed. Thanks to Liberty Global they are willing to spend, in the case of Leeds and Manchester, £500 per premises.
The council's main thing that Virgin appreciated wasn't anything too arcane, it was for the most part just flexibility.
