Re: BT Open Up Ducting - Look To Use Virgin's

Reminds me, in case I wasn't clear access to BT's poles is also included in this.

As you may know Horizon / Verizon BT have already conducted trials attaching fibre to existing copper from poles. I saw a video of them blowing fibre through a tube attached to a line somewhere.

You probably want to be telling BT this, they seem to be under the impression the mix is about 50:50 overhead / underground.
