It seems that this new Chief Exec at BT is shaking things up somewhat...

Good news for all you who live outside current ADSL active areas.

A new way to connect to the internet without the need for an intermediary
has been announced by BT.
The popularity of broadband has prompted BT to devise a new system which
directly connects customers to the internet in what net commentators are
describing as a fundamental shift for the industry.

Details were scarce as a full announcement is not due until later this
month, but BT says that it will be a "back to basics" service

As part of its three-year growth plan the telecommunications giant has
re-pledged its commitment to high-speed net services claiming broadband was
"at the heart of BT".

To emphasis this it announced that a further 100 telephone exchanges would
be ADSL-enabled by the end of May with the possibility of 500 more in coming
months.

The extra 100 exchanges would bump up UK ADSL coverage to 66% of the
population.
