Re: When you are the boss you can do anything.

I bet the CEO of a car company gets to drive any car he feels like. Whats the big deal.
He's driving his new car around a neighborhood his company, which holds the monopoly sales control over all "cars," supposedly doesn't want to sell cars in.

It's public relations idiocy.

Yep, pure stupidity. I can't believe they can stand by and say a "rural" area outside London is unservicable...except for this guy. Like he just happens to sit in the one and only spot they could get service to.

Edit:

Also, if they are running a "trial" in the area (for him), why not the whole village? You're gonna spend money for one guy to get the service there... oh wait, it isn't profitable. Just convenient.

AFAIK anyone can LLU (i.e put a DSLAM in) any exchange they want, it doesn't depend on BT themselves having a DSLAM there first. I seem to recall a few exchanges in exactly that situation before BT decided to push the boat out when it came to DSLAM rollouts.

So it's more like "the only company that would be likely to sell cars in that area doesn't want to"
