Still dead chuffed isn't the word!!

Completely pathetic - a waste of money equipping exchanges with only a handful of people on them for this technology whilst at the same time ignoring exchanges the other side of the River Tamar with over 30,000 people on them.

Just slightly, yes!

But I think it's a pretty good point.

This is what happens when funding is randomly assigned from a state pot rather than produced through customers...

It is, however it is also fairly typical for companies to choose weird low users locations to pilot new telecoms tech.

Especially when there's lashings of random subsidies from the magical money tree involved...

if this covers all of Cornwall it works out at about £250 per man, woman and child which is quite a lot in the scheme of things, but at the end of the day it has to start somewhere.

But only if the other 100 users aren't online at the same time.
