wait times
it's easily comparable
ok pep
I was reading into the broadband stuff
I think you have a point actually
Most of the infrastructure appears to have been built and subsidised by the tax payers
So it's not like, a successful private enterprise
We've paid for it, and now we're paying extra to rent it out
In 82, 50.2% of the company was sold off, in 91 the government sold off half of its remaining holdings, then 93 sold the remaining off
Pretty much @PureEvilPie
Governments can't be trusted with being the monopoly internet provider
Especially communist ones
Why are the Limp Dems looking to burn 100bn on pointless shit to save the environment while their other ridiculous policies are actively crucifying the environment?
But for some reason under private ownership our telecoms has fallen to some of the worst in Europe @Eccles
Big think!
It's because of poor strategic decisions made in the early 90s
Which ones?
The decision to roll out broadband over copper rather than install fibre right at the inception
so you're for marxist internet that can be controlled and censored at the whim of a few powerful retards

You cannot bridge that trust gap, Nathan
o wait youre a remainer nathan
nvm
Whatever the economics
That would have cost stupidly high amounts of money
you instantly forfeit integrity
Do you understand what the copper network is?
The copper network is the telephone cables.
Yes, and nevertheless that's what we ended up doing
so will this new system
Countries that modernised several years later had a better choice
itll cost more than what mcdonnell said
BT said 40Billion Pounds
atleast
Pretty cheap
Get it done
horse shit
xd
It'll be more than 40b because it'll have beurocrats doing it
