"We've reviewed the exchanges, and under current circumstances we can't see a case for setting a trigger because the total number of customers needed simply wouldn't be achievable," a BT spokesman said, adding that in many cases the number needed is actually greater than the total number of local households.
Sme exchanges with only 800 lines have had trigger levels set. Perranporth has a 2470 lines connected to it according to BT and is one of the recently announced "unviables". Given the fact that lesser exchanges have had trigger levels set, how many people do BT need to sign up to make an exchange of Perranporth's size viable?
