BT Responds To ADSL Unfortunates
Posted: 24th Sep, 2003 By: MarkJ
BT has responded to an issue raised two days ago about how a growing number of local exchanges were receiving strong interest for ADSL and yet no clear details about their actual viability for getting it:
BT, though, is reluctant to put itself in a position where the trigger level for an area is actually greater than the number of local households.
"Unfortunately, it's impossible in some cases to set a viable trigger level that would give us a commercial return," a BT spokesman explained on Tuesday. He added that this could change in the future as technology improves, or if more public money became available to fund partnership schemes between BT and local development agencies.
BT is currently conducting a widescale review of how it approaches the issue of making broadband available to the last 10 percent of the population.
Unfortunately BTs answer is somewhat sparse of detail without even making so much as an effort to highlight the exact reasons, especially for the previously highlighted exchange examples. More @ ZDNet.
