There's also, so I've been told, a lot of duct that was laid that remains uncabled which VM will be able to exploit.
I don't see Wight fibre as being so appealing.

Re: Virgin Media Buys Smallworld
I'm guessing a Team GB star. Failing that Richard Branson or Tom Mockridge.

Re: Virgin Media Buys Smallworld
Personally, I can't see anything will be done to change the Smallworld services at this stage. Any changes would come as part of the change to VM services.

Re: Virgin Media Buys Smallworld
The Prime Minister is a special visitor. Respect the office even if you don't like the politician currently holding it.
That said, I doubt it's him. My money's on the Bearded One.
