The point I was making was that you were putting forward a reason why extensive streaming couldn’t happen. I know you sourced the article, but as usual you just cannot see that these problems can be overcome.

And, of course, we are overcoming it, aren’t we?
No it’s not…

You stated

You may be unaware of this, but the government has been considering providing a basic internet service free of charge to at least some of the population.
What El Gov is considering

Quote:
The Government has called on all broadband providers to offer and promote social tariffs – discounted broadband and mobile deals for people on Universal Credit and other benefits
Two completely different things…

In fact, the BBC has now been instructed by OFCOM to plan for just that, as I reported in an earlier post.

And the problems relating to electricity supply that Chris reported a few years ago have been overcome already, haven’t they?

I guess if you lack the imagination, it is pointless discussing the future with you guys, although I think a lot of forum members would love to discuss it if there was less hostility and cynicism on here to any discussion on the subject of what the future may have in store.

Such a pity.
You have provided no evidence to support this assertion.

Also, you seem to confuse "lack the imagination" with "realistic risk assessment", just like you confuse "hostility and cynicism" with "Wah, Wah, why won’t you just agree with me!"…

Such a pity
