    Read the (El Reg) small print

    "BT asked it to identify savings of between £300m and £400m in exchange for a payment of between ten and 20 per cent of any savings made.

    The word "Contract" springs to mind.

    "Magenta is seeking £80m in damages and £8.1m for unpaid invoices."

    For undelivered work? Magenta go FOAD .

    AC because I work for BT!

    BT get advice on savings

    BT claim advice is bogus and refuse to pay up

    BT secretly put into practice all the advice for free - bargain!

    BT being underhanded? Who'd have thunk it?

    I wouldn't trust a single word that comes out of the BT PR/Tech departments.

    Cost Savings

    I have been unpaid by several clients this year and late last year.
