Where I live some people stll can't get a mobile phone signal, let alone a decent b/band connection

You're right Stevie - it's All Gordon Brown's fault

That was abandoned when the new government took office.

About half the IP numbers issued already are no longer being used. They were bought by spammers a million at a time and as soon as the addresses were recognised and blocked they simply bought another million.

It's also debatable whether buying billions of IP addresses for countries which do not yet have mains electricity or clean water is a good use of public funds.
