the irony of all this of course is how internet came about and what was it used for?
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, an Internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990.
tbl is english and when he released his new idea he declared that he wanted nothing for it and it must be avaialble to mankind free of charge. and what did the usual crminals do, put it under lock and key and have been robbing the public for using it.
now bt was a publicly owned organisation which which was sold to the corporations for peanuts. and we have been paying for it ever since. never mind paying for open reach, the whole of bt should be nationaised for the princly sum of 1 pound. it is only fair. all bt pension funds should be transfered to the new owners and if there is a hole in the pension fund the bt directors should answer for it.
as to eeolving technology, what the hell does bt do? fak all. the evolving tecnology is created at the universities all over the world and the bastards simply steal it from them and make a killing.
it is time to put these bastards where they belong.
internet information and communication is like the air that we breathe and should be free. we pay for it with our taxes.
fancy paying 40 billion a year for weapons we have not used in 50 years and we are not likely to use ever. it is time we stopped wasting our money and spent it on where it matters. looking after everybody no matter where they live, so they can have a fair chance in life.
