BT did this with the ADSL rollout in the UK. They only upgraded exchanges where the demand from locals went over a threshold.
It actually angered quite a few towns and villages that didn't have sufficient percentage interest to get their exchange upgraded to handle ADSL. They had to do their own local canvasing etc which I guess was a good way to get people to do marketing for free.
- imajes 18y agowhat's really interesting about this is how BT are going to be pushing through their ADSL2/fiber upgrade- they need to make it commercially viable so are going to be requiring some strict resale restrictions etc. :(
