The reason that was given is that the Telco equipment suppliers are reluctant to keep on supporting old TDM switches, BT have the resources & experience to offer a better level of support as they never relied on manufacturer support to the same extent as Ntl/Telewest did. There was a similar proposal by Ntl to outsource it to Marconi or Nortel about 3 years ago. I think they regard that part of the network as becoming an expensive millstone.
