Photos: The secrets of BT Labs

TV on mobiles, future gadgets and VoIP conference calls

By Steve Ranger, 2 October 2006 12:05

To show off some of the gee-whizz stuff being dreamt up by eggheads in its labs, BT has set up an 'innovation showcase' at its London HQ.

This is the iVine gadget, thought up by a focus group of 14- to 16-year-olds. The purpose was to get an idea of what kids want from their devices, rather than to come up with a model that would actually be built, so don't get your hopes up. This mock-up includes phone, music games and internet access.

    BT breaks the laws of physics?

    So, the BT optical fibre in photo 5 was "...wrapped in copper to shield the cable from the intense heat..."

    Normally copper conducts heat rather well!

    Perhaps BT is above even the laws of physics?

    Call the Celestial Regulator!
