The internet only took off in the UK when people were able to use it as a tool that was simply there, without concerns for costs. Always on, always available, and the same experience for all.
BT held the internet back for years, and they’re still a major pain for anyone wanting something other than cable or mobile broadband, as their lines and exchanges are still involved. If all our ISPs go this way and start partitioning off internet sites and giving them lesser status because they decide, not because I give a site higher value, then the net is going to be set back and we’re going to be in this recession for a lot longer..
Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting
