Hmmm...
Hasn't occurred to anyone that any big American rivals to this British co might have lobbied the gov for this...?

My sister works for the NHS & her dept was assigned a management consultant from one of these big companies.
She asked him to build a financial model that the dept could use. Week after week, she chased him and received nothing. She complained about him to management and she was accused of being a troublemaker!
Eventually, the company was dismissed, but not before collecting £2m and producing nothing!
Head should roll, as there are people signing these contracts and payments off!!
Having worked for large organisations like this before, it never ceases to astound me what utter ar$£holes manage to elevate themselves to such positions. They skim along at the top of the organisation, raking in a huge wad and never daring to look down at the great unwashed shovelling the $h!t to keep them in their job.
They then rip an organisation apart making mass redundancies and telling people "how exciting" the future is and then head off into the sunset in their chauffeur-driven Bently, to be congratulated by their flunkies.
BT is reknowned for its appalling customer service, the inability of any of the individual organisations within it (Openreach, BT Business, BT Residential, etc.) to communicate (ironically) or accept responsibility for anything.
How appropriate for such a shambles to be heading for an "exciting" future under the leadership of such a $h1t!!
