Quote:
Paul Reynolds, chief exec of BT Wholesale, who was speaking today at the Carriers World conference in London. told delegates that "the economic rules that used to govern the telecoms industry are changing - and not just in the UK but around the world as operators witness "continual margin erosion and revenue reductions".

"And while markets have become increasingly competitive he believes regulators are unlikely to ease up on incumbents any time soon."


He obviously wasn't thinking of Ofcom and the outrageous scam they allow Mr Reynolds and his BT colleagues to pull in respect of charges for 084 and 087 NGNs + 070 PNS numbers!  The only change Ofcom have made is to allow BT to charge its telecoms competitors even more for terminating calls to its numbers than it charges BT Retail.  Ofcom are so useless they haven't even banned the use of the terms "National Call/Rate" or "Lo-Call/Local Rate" in the context of 0870 and 0845 numbers.

Mr Reynolds also can't have been thinking of the pricing arrangements between BT Wholesale and BT Phonebox division where due to BT Wholesale still charging BT Phonebox divisions the same prices 24/7 customers still have to pay 11p per minute to call an 0870 from a phonebox at the weekend - this compares with 1.5p per minute from a landline.

Old proverb say that man from BT speak with forked tongue. Roll Eyes
