BT Shows First Fiber-Optic Broadband Rollout Plans
MJackson writes "BT has revealed new details about the roll-out of its £1.5bn programme to deploy super fast fibre optic broadband to as many as 10 million UK homes (40%) by 2012. Scotland will become one of the first places to benefit from next-generation broadband services, with more than 34,000 homes and businesses in Edinburgh and Glasgow receiving speeds of up to 40Mbps and potentially 60Mbps from early next year (2010). Overall, BT Openreach, which is responsible for ensuring that all rival operators have equality of access to BT's local network, aims to deploy Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) based next generation broadband services next summer (2010) to 500,000 homes and businesses in the UK."
Mexicans just breed like cockroaches (thanks to their Catholic beliefs), drink too much (thanks to all the kids), and encourage modern day slave labour by working as illegal immigrants on tiny wages.
The US would probably shit itself at the price jump on certain items if it actually had to do things legally and pay a proper wage to citizens / legal immigrants. But hey, slave labour is fine if you don't put chains on them.
