Not to mention that Telstra is frantically trying to get its subscribers to sign up to contracts which include an essentially public’ modem that can be used by passers by as well as the subscriber to provide ‘universal’ WiFi capability no matter where people are. The point is that said connection is only available courtesy of the HOME LINE CONNECTION. Public WiFi accessability is being created ON THE BACK of the hardwired home line. > >> ...

Neither rational, or imaginative.
