I asked him to confirm that it was really true that the Chunnel used Fox data (it does). That it's still in use. (It is.) And that the data through-put is in the order of gigabytes. It is. I don't have my details right at hand, but that was the gist of it. Nothing too detailed. When I get back tomorrow, I'll dig out the details (just the gigabytes).
