Good question. Did it work in your family?

A friend of mine put a village-wide system in for them a few years back. Unless they've unplugged it, it's another example of sloppy reporting...

Frankly, so what?

He's the Chairman of BT, FFS. Why shouldn't that come with the odd telco perk? I would expect every BT senior manager to be contactable electronically at home. Given the employment package he is likely to have will be enormous, anything that gets another 5 minutes a day work out of him is likely topay for itself.

I see what you're saying and I don't disagree. However, having lived in the sticks it is easier for me to empathise with those who are told they can't have it.
