Hi,

Food for thought:  British Telecom announced yesterday profits of 95
pounds a second ie annual profits of 3000 billion pounds ... leading
to comments from competitors that BT charges too much for use of its
local lines. I don't know how this compares to US telecom operators,
but I think it could be described as somewhat excessive.
