[edit] British Telecom (BT)

Reading this article I think the whole "British Telecom" thing is a little over stated and over kill to the point that it is essentially a point of view and agenda seeking. So what if a UK company has derived its name from Britain - and discourages anything other than BT as its name - people don't get upset by the many, many companies that trade with the name "UK and Ireland" in their title?

I tend to agreed, and tried to clarify it but made it a bit long-winded in the process. BT hasn't called itself British Telecom in nearly fifteen years, remember... British Telecommunications plc isn't even the ultimate holding company any more. --Rdd 22:29, 18 May 2005 (UTC)


I agree. The whole "British" thing is a non-issue. I don't think it has caused any fuss --Colmc 20:23, 20 Febuary 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esat

Can anyone confirm this before I put it into the article - Esat had bid for Ireland's 5 frequencies under the 1977 ITU Direct Broadcast Satellite plan, but didn't receive them. Its fairly hard to find any references for this on the net - we're talking 1989 decisions by Rambo, err, Ray Burke, so... --Kiand 01:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Cannot confirm but do you know if Esat had an earlier name, i have tried some of the variations. Its earliest appearence on www.cro.ie/search is the 1994 (but by no means definitive). Nothing much on http://historical-debates.oireachtas.ie/ either. Djegan 19:12, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
