    the ever wonderful Reg has an economics lesson from momma.

    A Snippet
    BT originally set some very high thresholds claiming that this number of people was needed to justify the investment. However, it now claims that a review of the economics (such as the price of kit coming down) of providing ADSL at local exchanges means that it can lower the number of people needed to make the investment viable.

    very déja vue somehow.

    This trigger system was devised by BT to slow down DSL rollout. They didn’t employ it in France, Germany, or anywhere else.

    An incumbent has a very low cost when it comes to rolling out DSL. They must have enough backhaul capacity to cover initial demand already in place for their voice network. (If not they have a network problem anyway). Hang a DSLAM on the wall and you’re in business.
