Right …
I’m up early.
Because?
I’ve got a hygienist’s appoint, today: one that’s comparatively early.
So, if I sound rushed?
That’s why!

Rushed?
Doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t read the news: nor unaware of things I’ve written.
Including the piece I did for Phoenix FM, about digital poverty.
I’m also aware I’ve taken advantage of the BT Home Basics tariff: the one they make available to those of us on benefits.
Which was something I’ve highlighted in the article.
So?
This piece from the BBC’s site caught my eye.
It tells us the telecoms regulator, Ofcom, has criticised the industry: for not promoting the social tariffs it requires companies to have.
Given I found no companies — bar BT — with these tariffs? Tariffs they could sell to those of us in need?
The fact they’re not promoting ones they have — if they have any, at all? — isn’t surprising.
The more things change? The more they stay the same …
