BT 21C Network Big.mov

A Review of Telecommunications in 2006 @ BT Laboratories Martlesham Heath (UK) giving a perspective from 1986 up to 1996, with an emphasis on the history, present day and the future role of optical fibre networks and the new services they will promote and support. Details of why UK Fibre Local Loop ambition failed in 1991 through political intervention.

Also included are statistics and projected staffing levels, costs, quality of service improvements, the relationship with wireless, new services, plus reliability and operations. Much of what is said in 2006 has been fulfilled, but even more remains out of reach, but not for any technological reason, more the lack of management and political vision and ambition.
