SIR – BT want to increase line rentals. Why?

I don’t know, because they are making vast profits.

We’ll just have to wait and see whether the other telephone companies raise their rentals, because I’m beginning to think that with the telephone companies, like the energy companies, there is not enough competition and they’re beginning to act like a cartel.

They want stopping now before it gets out of hand.

We should have a regulator for the energy and the telephone companies.
