That story isn't quite right, OFTEL said that BT must open the local loop lines for other telcos to access by that date, not that access must be available to all areas by that date.
"We propose...... with a view to enabling access to BT's local loops by July 2001"
Before that date BT still can roll out ADSL lines, and it's likley it will do this very fast so it can make maximum profit BEFORE the other telcos can come in and compete.
My guess is a rollout plan from BT will appear within the month.
Its was this spammer who gacve virgin their spamhaus title, and he spammer from btinternet after/before (i forget the sequence) this.
If virgin want to make a point out of this, then good luck to them. But they should have been on the ball in the first place, and allowing him to spam a second time was just gross stupidity on their part.
Now if only all other UK isp's could get a clue (excluding clara, who have always been white hat)
On a similar subject, I liked "Crash" by Tony Collins. That goes through a series a case studies of why major software projects failed, theres some really scary/stupid stuff that goes on.
Mainly UK based, but a good read for anyone interested

I don't mind if the government reads my email, but only if they delete all the spam while they are at it!
Think of it as a value added service.

Here's a question.
I call Godfrey a tosser here, on the slashdot comments, he will come and sue me.
Me=London,UK.
Server=USA somewhere.
Who's law applies, the insult comes from the USA, but originated in the UK.
Oh what fun lawyers must have

Hmmm, I hate buying things. Either it's great and you love it, or it sucks and your stuck with it.
My Voodoo 1 was one of the better thing I've ever got though, so maybe V3 is a good idea.
Then again mabye a ATI rage would be the best choice
arrrrrrrrr
