WOW!

Its a good article as well- they even let ACT get a bit o' the action.

CLOSING QUOTE:

In the meantime, cranky Irish users say they will continue to ride the broad-bandwagon of protest.

DAMN RIGHT:)

Fantastic! WTG everyone

Eircom had a hissy fit after the regulator's slapdown and said that it might abandon the ADSL project altogether, so there!

Not if we can help it they wont!

I think that's one of the best summaries of the situation I've seen. Full marks to I'm guessing adam?? elana?? .. or whoever.

Anyway.. I think that is one article I am going to try and get TDs reading - and I'll be sure they understand the level of respect and influence commanded by WIRED!
