.....a few thoughts
Having internet access in 1999 was then rare and even my mates where impressed when I announced that I had internet access (even if then it was only dial-up used for mid night sessions of R6:RS). Its now changed so much that the government want everyone on there, just in case those without are missing something... that being internet shopping / farcebook and twatter.. whoppee doo....
Does that mean soon that those without... can claim a 'Broadband Benefit' to top up their housing/council tax/income support/unemployment benefit at further cost to the taxpayer? And how they going to means test it?
Quite clearly those without means to access the net either wont want it or dont need it.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
