Surely...

Surely BT must have known that Ofcom would subject it to its former status of "incumbent monopoly" when it announced its plans to create 21CN.

I'm sure they did, so I'm also sure that there must have been a deal with Ofcom that stated they would only use investment and profits related to their new wave services, rather than relying upon standard telephony and broadband subscriptions from its BTWholesale arm.

I've not heard much of other companies next-gen networks (Thus? C&W?) and how they intend to roll-out. Neither have I heard much of other countries rollout of all IP networks.

Could it be that ISP’s are making this out to be a bigger problem than it actually is? We’re a small country with an internet penetration of less than 60%, for every Youtuber there’s someone who only uses the internet to check their emails, more people surf on their mobile handsets than a few years ago. Surely things should even themselves up.
