You can also get access if you register (free). I had the same issue and
registered, which is basically just an email address so they can spam you 
;-)

Also received that message... but these links seem to work:

Else search FT.com for the titles:

Could someone perhaps post them here? I'm getting "You have viewed

[OSM-talk] OSM in the today's Financial Times

2008-05-22 Thread Michael Collinson
Burn your Anarcho-syndicalist membership card. Sell Google. Buy 
OSM.  Today's  Financial Times European edition, page 11, carries a 
3/4 page article "Way to go? Mapping looks to be the web's next big 
thing" with this paragraph.

"At one end of the spectrum are people like Steve Coast, a British 
amateur who is hoping to create a communal map of the world as 
comprehensive as Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. Volunteers who 
contribute to Mr Coast's OpenStreetMap.org literally redraw the map. 
"You buy a GPS unit and cycle around the roads," he says. "It drops a 
data point every second, like Hansel and Gretel dropping 
breadcrumbs." Collecting those data points and joining the dots is 
the first step in sketching a map of the road network."

A little bit condescending still but it says what we do and has the 
website.  It is nice to see journalists beginning to make a ritual 
inclusion of OSM every time they write about mapping.  Good work Steve.
