When you register with interest with an ISP, it gets sent (either automatially via XML, or later by hand over web interface) to BT, which registers it with FastPRoBE (Fast Pre Registration By Exchange) and updates the bt.com/broadband/ site that shows the thermomiter wihin 10 minutes. All details that you provide the ISP (name, address, phone number, etc) are passed to BT in this. - From BT Broadband Deployment Pre-Registration Process Handbook - Issue 8: [grrr, damn kghostview won't let me copy/paste!] <snip> 7 . Once the external threshold has attained 90% of it's allowed volume the BT wholesale broadband deployment team will be notified via email. this allows BT Wholesale to test the validity of the orders and to begin preperations for exchange build. </snip> Now, i'm not sure i'm allowed to disclose exactly how BT check the details, but it's really not too clever ... I'll read through my NDA with them to check that bit before i get stuck in the archive :) One thign worth noting is that BT are allowed to stop an ISP from accepting registrations if a high number are found to be fraudulent from any single one.
