16,508 - numbers going up every hour
Interesting that so many people are signing when the latest BBC article does not have a live link to the petition. Must mean that they are reading earlier articles too - or going to look for the petition for themselves.
Can't complain too much: the videos are still good to watch again - specially the comment from ES that trials are due to start later this month, and there is not date on the video.

AOL's subscriber base has shrunk rapidly since it decided to offer e-mail and other services free to all users and not just subscribers, instead focusing on boosting content to attract more advertising.
Although AOL still has more than eight million subscribers, about 2.8 million have left over the past year

Even free services can't keep numbers up when businesses forget customers and concentrate on advertising.
