And they would be happy for you to do that. The Telegraph however is charging £10 a month for that option, as opposed to £2 for access to the website and smartphone apps.

This is the one thing I don't understand about the price structure - they are allowing smartphone access at the £2 point but charging £10 for the tablet edition. I can see the sense of differentiating between a smartphone app and a tablet app; presumably the smartphone app carries pared-down content. But putting full website access in the £2 bracket rather than in the premium £10 bracket alongside the tablet edition, when a tablet will run the full website without any problems, seems a bit odd.
