this must've been around... whew.. 2011? I'd have to ask them next time I see them
But anyway
basically, no NBN for several more years
Entire thing has been a fucking debacle
Pretty sure Gold Coast city council has somehow managed to politick their way into laying their own NBN cable (HFC) because of how long NBNCo is taking to do it, and they want it all sorted out before the Commonwealth Games next year
Either way it doesnt concern me. NN is protected in Europe
Are you saying Europe has it's own codified law or..
he means EU, of course
It is codified
it was enacted in 2011 in the EU, like I said earlier
it was enacted in 2011 in the EU, like I said earlier
Just like roaming with mobile?
Yep
That was enacted this year i think
The companies were ripping us off
I'd like to see a copy of it
Now there is a proposal to end geoblocking
Because I wouldn't be surprised if certain exceptions were made
ta
3am here
so shall read a little later
suffice to say that I am v e r y skeptical of the government riding in on a white horse when it comes to these issues
but I'm willing to give it a fair shake
no problem
I uderstand your position on it
the EU should be burned to the ground at this point, but the legislation they've enacted for consumer protection is stronger than anything in the world
both things can be true at the same time
The best consumer protection we have
2 years waranty
14 days to return anything without reason
well I was mostly talking about data retention policies and net neutrality and privacy issues, so that's my bad with regards to wording
I realise there are better warranties by law in individual countries
There also was the cookie law
that's just hilarious I think :-P I wonder if it has had any actual "good" effects
Mostly annoying
from what I can see, people either don't understand that the "popup/under bar" is not part of the website and just ignore it as screen-spam, or they click "OK" before reading it
I understand it, and I still consider it screen-spam
Cookie law?
