BT
- noun Abbreviation for 'British Telecommunications plc' - a
large and fearsome monster that is reputed to stand between
players and fun.
Although this almost certainly was true in the
past, it seems to have mellowed in recent years; many aspects
of its behaviour that people find especially annoying (eg.
mercilessly gobbling their money) it appears genuinely to want to change,
but is prevented by environmental factors (ie. laws) from
so doing. Even its traditional short-sightedness is now
less evident. Nevertheless, anything that big is always
going to be at least a little frightening... See comms,
line-noise, carrier
loss, lag, dumped, MUDbox.
