A colleague of mine at an OLO was telling me 
that when OT de-peered them the contact number
to discuss it was a France Telecom sales person!

Its kind of like an tyre fitter from kwik fit
coming over and puncturing your tyres and then 
expecting you to drive into Kwik Fit and pay
them to fix them uuhhh I don't think so - 
do they honestly think that this type of activity 
is going to generate them any revenue?!
