Even though it has cut its wholesale ADSL prices, which has resulted in an increase in the take-up of broadband, some influential MPs are keen to see BT - British Telecom - chopped in two.
Despite the recent surge in the take-up of broadband in Britain, BT is still being forced to defend itself against calls for the company to be broken up.
Members of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on the draft Communications Bill, which met on Monday evening, blamed BT for the fact that the UK is still behind other countries when it comes to the take-up of high-speed Internet services.
The joint committee -- which is made up of six MPs and six members of the House of Lords -- also asked several of BT"s rivals whether they would support the company"s break-up. Several members of the joint committee are understood to be rather attracted to the idea of splitting BT in two -- a cause that Cable & Wireless has been pushing for quite some time.
No, really?? Why"s that I wonder?
