YG's CEO Emily Green posted her views on BT's announcement earlier this week (BT promises the UK will get its fiber). I like the way Emily writes, it's very American, snappy and to the point. She talks like that too (and her wireless umbrella is now of legendary fame!)
Anyway, one of the aspects she mentions and has also been commented on by the guys over at Fibre to the Home UK in NGA - definition thereof is the language issue. Since BT is not actually launching an NGA network to more than 1 million homes, they couldn't rightly say that this was an NGA plan, so they called it a "super-fast broadband" plan and lumped ADSL2+ under the denomination.
"Fair game", I hear you say, and I don't disagree although I will say that it's gonna be a lot less convincing when BT keeps stating that Virgin Media is lying when they say they sell fiber.
I fear BT has lost the moral high ground.
