[dundee] Fruit and Fiber, and great fiber provider.

[Sean McRobbie]

h2o (Well, fibrecity/i3) are indeed going ahead soon.

I was at the briefing with them not long ago and it goes sound good except they weren't able to answer many questions.

Unofficially? Sounds like it won't change much.

Regards,
Sean McRobbie

I've just seen, these.... 


http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8035902.stm 


and to quote 

BT's chief executive Ian Livingstone likened BT's fibre ambitions to running a Ford car as opposed to a 100Mb Ferrarri. 

The British people he said would "be happy with a Ford". 








now, I think that probably means BT does not want to upgrade, or pay for the fiber installs around the country. So, how long can the flog copper wires to people and make a killing? who know, perhaps the next 50 years or so.

hmmm... so I think I'll move to Japan, :-). 




does anyone know if h20 are actually doing anything in dundee, or it's or 

just smoke and mirrors (and pipes). 




I'm really tempted to get my digger going. 




Cheers,
