It's very sad that something as useful as the web is going to be largely reduced to the role of pushing space filled with ads for stuff nobody wants nor cares about.

very good point what will happen is they try push prices up by forcing you onto higher speeds just to get the service you had before.
Maybe this is vm masterplan to get us to move to 50megs which with all this impending traffic slowdown will act like 10 megs service as all the traffic gets queued into phorms rubbish while our computers patiently waits for packets.
I would not be suprised one minute if we get an overload which just completely crashes the whole vm broadband or turns it to 56k modem.
I still dont trust the bunch of criminals to honour people who opt out. I bet the find a way to track us anyway with a rootkit embeded in opt out users machines.

Ali.
P.s. I'm reading through the PECR now ( http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2003/20032426.htm). Can someone point me to the relevant paragraphs please? |
very good point is what happens if the website your are connected has given consent but you have refused to consent.
