I hope she gets a good summer holiday while waiting for all those answers. Now that those questions have been asked, I also hope that BT and the other phorming ISPs know the answers before they are made public.

But good on the Baroness for keeping the pressure on and still asking the questions that us common folk don't stand a chance of getting real anwers too. I think and email to her as a show of support is due. | ||
