Commercial is either license or advertising, that was my point. Again did not say I agreed, merley that was their intention - and from studies I have seen users would be accepting of any model that was cheaper for them in long run.

Judging by by 10MM who signed upto Oystercard, I wonder if the mass number of people would choose convenience over being spied on - or could even make the connection? To illustrate a different spyware operation.

Also, do you not think web and personal are antithesis?
