MJackson writes "BT has revealed new details 
about the roll-out of its £1.5bn programme to 
deploy super fast fibre optic broadband to as 
many as 10 million UK homes (40%) by 2012. 
Scotland will become one of the first places to 
benefit from next-generation broadband services, 
with more than 34,000 homes and businesses in 
Edinburgh and Glasgow receiving speeds of up to 
40Mbps and potentially 60Mbps from early next 
year (2010). Overall, BT Openreach, which is 
responsible for ensuring that all rival operators 
have equality of access to BT's local network, 
aims to deploy Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) based 
next generation broadband services next summer 
(2010) to 500,000 homes and businesses in the UK."

Our truest response to the irrationality of the 
world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
