Ionica in East Anglia. I suppose a WLL effort. No doubt, like Saturn found here, prices by competitors dropped when the entered the market, so expected returns dropped too. Also, East Anglians would be conspicuously conservative about any new fangled product, unless it looked like a brick. You should have seen them moan about changing to decimal currency let alone a feeble attempt at going metric. They also got lower capacity than expected, so their per customer costs went up. Deployment difficulties could be town planning and NIMBY issues, always big and strong ones in Britain, where building a motorway through a sacred rotten old building would need Privy Council approval. Maybe capital for expansion given the rotten capacity and returns on investment. Soft soil wouldn't be the issue. Brick buildings need a decent foundation and there are many all over Britain, including the Midlands, with dirty great tall brick chimneys. You don't see the Leaning Tower of Yorkshire. Where did you get 'big foundations the problem' from that article? It could have been green aliens eating the wires as much as big foundations. Maurice
