I agree. I doubt anyone in authority will though. :(

I totally agree - they did something totally illegal and should be brought to book for it.

However, I can't see it happening - BT is such a big Corporation with massive influence, and I can hear the sound of brown envelopes with bits of paper in being handed round as I type  >:D
