Apple accused of iPhone ban on 'all single-station radio apps'

Why would anyone want a single channel radio app?

Why the heck would you want a single-station radio app anyway? All thats gonna happen is that the radio station will start shoving in-app spam in your direction.

There are quality internet radio apps for the iphone that allow you to listen to almost any radio station worldwide. TuneIn Radio is excellent. No, its not free, but a quid is hardly going to break the bank!

I *like* the fact that Apple has some controls on the stuff that can get into its store. They could do with being a bit cleverer in their selections though - there is some utter sh1t that has made it through and some excellent apps have been rejected (the rejected mxtube is a case in point). The free-for-all in the Android Market Place ensures that average app quality there will be lower than average app quality in apples store.

Edinburgh, Stirling, Bannockburn ADSL All Dead

Hi

I work in Edinburgh and have machines always-on via Stirling and Bannockburn exchanges. All died at about 10AM, have come back on intermitantly, but far from reliable at the moment.

MPLS site-2-site lines have survived though - and these run through local exchange so its only the internet connected stuff that appears to have been effected.

Three's 3G service also working fine.
