News: UK E-minister calls for lower broadband prices – The Register Comment: Clearly a good announcement, let’s see if it’s just further rhetoric or whether further action will follow. Hilarious facts derived from the article is, 13m homes connected to ADSL enabled exchanges, 50k installed ADSL’s – that’s 0.0038% utilisation. In addition, 180 ADSL resellers sharing 25k installation (BT have half of them themselves) – that an average of under 139 ADSL connection each – I would suggest that this is an insufficient number to generate enough income for them to survive.
