I’m not sure where to start on this!
I’m not clear on what community you mean and engagement in a community is
typically a personal thing, or at least always has been for me.
We have presented at a lot of UKNOF meetings, we have been a patron sponsor and
hosted a meeting too.
A quick grep on the RFC ftp site shows us contributing to over 100 RFCs and we
participate in half a dozen working groups and chair a couple also and I think
we have about half a dozen drafts in progress.
We engage at ETSI in at least six different forums including setting up the NFV
forum and a few other related forums.
One of our staff members currently chairs the broadband forum.
We engage at ITU, EBU and IEEE on standards for loads of technology most
recently G.FAST
We have submitted several papers at OFC to make sure fibre can carry the
traffic we need it to carry in the future:
http://www.comsoc.org/ctn/strengthening-backbone-5g-and-beyond
And a ton of other stuff (including working with Google on a few things)
We co-hosted the IETF (that’s the Internet Engineering Task Force!) a couple of
years ago and are set to co-host in 2018 (if it comes to the UK)
With regards to working with other service providers, we participate in lots of
forums with service providers, in fact we are running a G.FAST pilot now where
several large service providers are engaged.
So no, we don’t tell you how to config your router we’d much rather do the work
so you have something to configure on your router in the first place!

Nothing mighty about the admin bit, and not having a go at you personally. It's
just the default for this domain I use.
But - for the largest ISP in the UK, it is hilarious for BT to have a go at
other ISPs. Unlike AAISP and others I don't see any technical direction from BT
apart from the occasional SIN document and no engagement in the community.
Again, it's not a go at you personally - but for BT to throw stones, even at a
company for whom security is a tangential issue, when they act like the
monopoly they grew out of is ridiculous.
BT don't act like part of the internet like Facebook and Google do. That's my
issue.

Good point Neil. It's a bit like the largest incumbent government sponsored ISP
in the UK not engaging with the community isn't it?
Ok Sean (oh mighty admin!) I'm biting (again) - what nonsense are you going on
about now dood?
Regards,
Neil
