Interesting article about BT’s new street cabinets that are being used as part of the FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) roll out. Due to the size and cost of the technology that needs to be deployed in these boxes have had a revamp, but it looks like appearance wasn’t a big concern at the planning stage. As the 80,000 or so boxes across the country get upgraded it is likely this new story will become bigger as more councils and residents start to object.
Looks like BT will have to go back to the drawing board quickly if they want to prevent a negative reaction to the new technology.
