There should at least be an option for limitless mobile data usage, even if its for initially squillions a month. True, but as the hardware gets faster, the software gets more...

Re: Will the UK ever adopt DAB+?
I'm in favour of DAB+ and also of DRM -- there's no reason why we can't adopt two standards and have dual-fuel receivers like we do now for FM/AM. As I've previously revealed I'm also very much in the WIFI / internet lobby, but that's offtopic. I don't believe internet radio could ever be the prima...

Re: Earth Week, or "Am I becoming Nick Harvey"?

Re: TV Forum Watch News and Information Board
Have to say that it's a start, probably the first visible moderation I've seen in years.

Re: Ten Years of TV Forum (and how to fix it)
An idea may be to set up another TV Forum and only allow "trusted" members to register for it (by the admins/mods of Metro)
