Do you know the people who have tried and failed? I would like to perhaps talk to them...

Yes, I am still trying to find out who to ask... :/ I called land registry and they passed me onto the Devon and Cornwall county council switchboard, then "land searches", then NCDC "land searches" who said I should come down to Barn Lane, Bodmin to look through planning applications as they don't have it computerised. I also contacted the Highways Agency. They said they would get back to me. This could be really tricky as I distantly recall in Australia, a LUV member (http://www.luv.asn.au/) knew where lines were laid. But he said it's often secret information so no one knows easily what's what. I predict it not being easy with "Global Crossing" & L3 & the like. Though I think this should be a political issue, as there is some much talk of facilitating the IT industry in Cornwall. Could be my imagination running wild mind. > Do you have a plentiful supply of cheap green power? > And/or infrastructure to supply same - from say Hinckley? It's cheap: http://flickr.com/photos/hendry/2710694778/ 10p per kW/h is quite good? I pay 13p a unit in Surrey. Also see http://dabase.com/wf2/ with Opera Though for "green", I've been thinking of getting a Windmill going. The A30 junction near my home is called "Four Winds" promisingly. Don't know about Hinckley. Do any list subscribers have a Windmill power generator per chance?
