The Future of Telecom is in Wales

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ma-bara-brith dept.

An anonymous reader wrote to mention a CNN Money story about the future of U.K. telecommunications. British Telecom is planning on rolling out an $18 Billion new system in 2010, and the first location to get the hook up is Cardiff, in Wales. From the article: "What's really cool about what will happen in Cardiff - and eventually the rest of the U.K. - is that BT is creating an open, standards-based platform for which anyone can develop new applications. In other words, the phone has the potential to become more like the Internet with its proliferation of cool new Web sites, tools and services."

    Thank you slashdot, for your broken and completely pointless tagging system; I don't know what I'd do without it.

    Don't forget to tag this story with "stupid," like every fucking story that appears on this site, you disgusting faggot slashdot users.
