BT says it will carry out a "nationwide survey" to establish the
demand among communities for high-speed broadband based on
fibre-optic cable â setting areas in competition against one
another, with the prize being an upgrade to faster internet
connectivity.
The company will be running the survey as a competition, which will
continue to the end of the year: BT says it will "enable
communities to express their desire for the service. This will help
BT identify 'hot spots' where demand is high and influence the
company's future deployment plans." So far, 4m premises are "within
reach" of BT's fibre broadband, but that must grow beyond 16m for
BT to reach its target of delivering high-speed fibre-optic
broadband to two thirds of the UK by 2015.
How the heck do you determine high demand through a competition? (I like BT
because ...?)
(The article goes on to say that BT pays less tax that competitors
which sounds wrong)
