X : Thoughts on the last 30 years of the Internet?
Me : You mean world wide web? The Internet is much older.
X : Thoughts?
Me : You're looking for quotes?
X : Yes.
Me : I'm amazed that BT still survives. That company has single handedly shafted industrial progress in the UK.

X : Care to expand?
Me : Sure. The real potential of UK won't be realised until the networks are provided by Amazon and Huawei.
X : Security?
Me : Agreed. I've long seen BT as threat to UK competitiveness and therefore a national security issue.
X : Not what I mean.

X : I'm guessing you're not a fan of BT.
Me : I'm not a fan of anyone who engages in rent extraction to the detriment of their customers and needs to be forced to take positive steps. Fan of BT, I'm a customer ... of course I'm not a bloody fan.

X : So if Amazon ...
Me : ... oh, you don't have to finish the sentence - in a heartbeat. As soon as Amazon and / or Huawei start providing decent network services e.g 5G ... I'll be using it. Gone. Never coming back.

X : What about the Gov promises to roll-out fibre to the home.
Me : Still waiting for the 20M trees to be planted by 2015 ... I think we've managed a few hundred thousand. I suspect I'll be long dead and buried before they deliver on those promises - 2050 and the rest.

X : Aren't you concerned about monopoly with Amazon?
Me : A company focused on customers and user needs vs a "market" focused on rent extraction, playing golf and bonuses ... nope. My only concern with Amazon is after Bezos et al i.e. when the management consultants take over.
