Two major announcements this week - and both (BT's 'super-fast broadband' and OPTA's open access to cable decision) are quite hollow, to a degree. Benoit rightly quotes Karl Bode on BT's "Fiber to the press release". And the OPTA (the Dutch NRA) decision on open access to cable doesn't look like it will lead to very much either. Not only is it limited to services-based competition, ana

It so happens sometimes that you write a scrap to someone on Orkut but don't want the other person to be there.
