		<description>Both comments and the letter give even more reason for the Govt to try MUCH harder, listen to those who know, whose area of expertise this all is, and realise that it is only by listening and becoming informed that they will stop throwing enormous democracy halting, and economy ruining spanners in the works.

At this rate, there really will be a revolution. Every which way you turn at the moment, across every aspect of our lives, the UK is becoming the laughing stock of the world for our policies. And worse, for the populace in turning the other cheek accepting them. There are few other countries where the ridiculous laws which have been passed during this last few governments would have been accepted by the citizens, the businesses, or those organisations who are supposedly in place to protect both.

I ceased to be proud to be British years ago when I left to travel and understood how others view this country; now, I am embarrassed.</description>

		<description>Very interesting David.  This blog gets read by MPs and Government ministers and I would be interested in talking about the project when the results are there. Might get HUWY some additional exposure.

Politicians are typically hugely busy people in their 40s 50s and 60s and it isn&#039;t necessarily fair to expect that demographic to have a good handle on internet issues.  Having said that they need to try harder as the subject of this post shows.</description>

		<description>Why cannot the politicians try to learn from the people who have grown up with the Internet - the real experts? From next month there will be 80 groups of young people in 4 EU countries debating Internet policies in their favourite corners of cyberspace. 

Then the HUWY project (http://huwy.eu/) will bring their ideas on future solutions and laws to policy makers in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Estonia and the European Parliament. All the policy-makers need to do is humbly learn from them.</description>

		<description>As Lindsey says on Post 1.

I live in Glasgow Halfway area. The only people offered Infinity are those where there is competition for BT.

All the new estates that have recently been built in the area remain without a premium service.</description>

		<description>Trefor - I looked at this story yesterday and though it is a huge piece of hardware,Cisco was touting it as changing the internet. Question is, am I supposed to be impressed that a leading technology company tripled the performance of its key bit of hardware in the six years from th elaunch of CRS-1, given Moore&#039;s, Metcalfe&#039;s etc laws?</description>
