A strike wont impact BT as much as some think, it may even force BT to use outsourcing companies more than they already do.
WELL SAID FLECCY
Jamtart take a look out your window and you'll see a Openreach van parked in the drive and not a second car. I can guarantee that van rarely moves before your starting time and I could guarantee that most evenings it's parked on the drive before finishing time. You have a cosy number but just beware Openerach as Fleccy says might end up outsourcing the work. How would you feel working for Kelly Communications at 2/3 rd's of your present wage.

It's fact. During the strike with no engineers working in Street side cabinets it eliminated all working party faults. No working pairs being stolen, no working lines being accidently knocked off. Now extend that to all other cross connection points in the network.

I would advise BT engineers to think again before considering taking strike action. Back in 1994 engineers thought by taking strike action they would have BT on it knees. What management learned was how resilient the network was and with the drop of reported faults by customers, the amount of faults that are actually caused daily by BT engineers working on their own network.

Velo,
Remember a poster on this board by the name " Fawlty " who would always be predicting the share price against your extensive notes that lasted into the wee small hours. That was until he was found out to be using Poundf's website. Their website were certainly correct predicting the constant downward spiral of the BT share price over the past few years. Well they're showing a BT share price of 135 for next Friday.

"ICL" Back in the day did you happen to notice that the Riggers involved in climbing the towers to work on Micro wave links, none of them had any eyebrows?

BT to make Zoom a 5G based service in the fullness of time where it can exercise security, improved performance and Zoom slices. No doubt other Zoom-like services will also be offered on 5G, but in the UK, BT has managed to get itself a head start.

The chief executive of BT is painting a picture of the sunlit uplands that await the former telecoms monopoly, currently unloved by the City, if it can turn itself into a player in the “internet of things” — a world where 40 billion connected devices will communicate with each other, changing the way we live.
