    May be I should have referred to them as publicaly licenced Network Operators......and those Networks I assure you are owned by the public.......
    I'd love to know how you come to that conclusion. They only pay for a licence to use the frequency. The networks are owned by the companies

    The communications Network is owned by the public and every member of the public is entitled by UK Law to have uninterrupted access to that service.

    Network Operators like T-Mobile who obtained public licence and agreed to supply communications services to the public cannot refuse members of the public access to the public communication Network purely on their personal economic reasons.

    Companies that supply public utilities under licence(energy,water,etc) are absolutely not allowed to 'cherry pick'.

    So if I don't pay my mobile bill, they can't cut me off? Cloud cuckoo land!

    You, sir, are completely misinformed and are misinforming others. Desist!

    If you keep digging...you're bound to end up in Australia at some point...
    Maybe one of those publically owned road building companies that can't refuse you service will help? :p

    Don't bother addressing any correspondence to Moaty either, he left the company months ago

    Any company can choose not to take your business if they wish
