Some exchanges cost half a million to upgrade! Each exchange is
different depending on how old there are and the current equipment etc.

Hmmm,
1889 exchanges
10000 to upgrade an exchange (haven't a clue on this figure, anyone
know
a
more accurate version)
1889*10000 =3D =A318,890,000 to upgrade all exchanges... I'd be happy for
a=
six
weeks of lottery money to go into this so long as BT put some cash up
too
and lower the subscription prices... I know the money should be used
for
good cause, but this will improve out country for the benefit of all
(except
those without computers, sorry you lot)
Or am I just being too naive?
