I was a 'shareholder' once apon a time and I clearly remember being 
told, through advertising, that the increased charges were going toward 
making the system more efficient etc. Soon after that it was privatised.
I did write to my MP asking where my share of the sell off was.
My argument was if half the country have purchased shares then the other 
half, who originally were joint owners, should benifit from the cash 
received. It didn't seem to worry the MP that if the benefits were 
divided among the total population then the BT shareholders were getting 
their cake and eating it in the form of shareholders perks etc.
The MP in question was a Tory and he implied in his reply that I was 
behaving like a labour supporter ( putting it politely no doubt )
