John O Doherty is the Chairman of the most useless regulator in the whole EU , namely Comreg in Ireland. He is the founding Chairman of BEREC. Enough said.

One poor 3 Ireland customer was driven to this

3 to start shaping traffic on Monday

At least they admit they cannot deliver a consistent user experience in the UK

Whereas in Ireland they are unregulated and would never bother admitting to shaping or to any QOS enfocement .

That is why one poor customer was driven to this , you had better look at it before it is permanently throttled or worse still nuked outright by their filters :)

US cruiser nails crippled spy-sat on first shot

Missile Gaps

Let me see.

In about 1985 the Americans took out one of their own sats with a missile air launched from an F15 and maybe 300km up.

In about 2007 the Chinese out one of their own sats with a ground launched system and maybe 600km up

Now the Americans have 'proven' they can ground launch to 250km .

As for teh Royal Navy , their computer would have shown the sat as "friendly" so the missile would not have launched . The American computers have no such 'scruples' :)
