Re: What really pisses me
It's not really taxation if you don't overpay for your mobile service.
I pay a few pounds a month, and only once in the last several years have I added another few pounds to boost the data (and that was abroad, so lots of remote data (a lot of it being mapping) being used).
I see shops advertising £30,40,50 pound a month contracts... and I generally just walk on by.
I *do* pay ~£30/month for a specific application for two months, but then a radio studio generates significant upload traffic - 40GB over the course of four weeks.
That is something I am happy to pay for, and I don't see £50-60 (often easiest to buy as two months, with the 'month end' in the middle of the broadcast period) as an excessive expense for a continuous 128kbps stream (well, I have it relayed, so I don't pull data when no-one is listening) and to enable remote access for me to start the auto-DJ in case a presenter has forgotten to enable it...
