You still use ceefax!!! I thought they turned that off a couple of years back...
Google has far too information on us already. Who is betting that they will "analyse" the data that goes through their fibre cables to provided "targeted ads" to its subscribers.
Of course they will. You don't get anything for nothing. Doesn't really bother me though to be honest. If they really want to know what sort of cycling gear I'm buying etc. Everything sensitive is going to / can be encrypted anyway.
I would predict massive costs associated with file sharing though.
Speeds of up to 1Gbps! My HDD would be the bottle neck when downloading files from the internet(well, actually my 54Mbps wireless...)
I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.
