Yes, did anyone else see that article in Tuesday's Hun (which I borrowed
off a colleague I hasten to add :-) about the three different models (from
memory):

1. The Spencer St station hub model (some of the companies are effectively
reaggregated)
2. The model I can't remember the name of
3. Troughton's model (Troughton was the guy who completely screwed up our
electricity indiustry with his privatisation policies [1]) (different
owners for each company)
