I saw a demonstration of the service it was working on, which was based on the Homechoice model, at its home of the future in Adastral Park. I'm a bit out of the loop now, but have heard very little about it since. My ISP is Tiscali and in the past couple of weeks I've received letters about TV/talk packages they are planning for next year. I agree that BT is in danger of getting left behind. Would be good to have a response from BT on this! Interestly, around four years ago BT was investing a lot of research into IPTV.

They do phone and they do internet, but where's the TV mobile phone network? They have never had the former and sold the latter. With Sky moving into broadband and NTL/Virgin Media offering TV along with phone and internet, BT might get left behind. I have just left BT after many years (to NTL of all people - but they are cheaper for more services, not just expert at missing appointments). For me, BT needs a better customer package first and foremost. BT might be investing in a new network, but it needs to make sure that it has services to run on it.
