BT has already replaced the phone infrastructure. Now it just desperately needs everyone to ditch the old lines by 2025 https://www.theregister.com/2021/07/01/ ... n_warning/SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑25 Oct 2021, 09:41Probably within the next 10-20 years all the utilities are going to have a very sizeable chunk of their infrastructure that'll need replacing.

Good green initiative. I`m told it was done in ye olden days, but we now live in a "someone will bring it to me" culture and the volume and size of crap that we are required to "bring" to customers negates that surely? If anything, we need LARGER vans if we are going to van share. (and clear the office).stripeypaw wrote: ↑24 Oct 2021, 23:01How about using bicycles on delivery and instead of using loads of Van's.Mail could be put in pouch boxes for postmen to collect on their rounds.
