    From http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/19609.html :
    <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">

    The Campaign for Unmetered Telecommunications (CUT) - which did so much to champion the cause of flat-rate Net access in Britain - is to fold.

    At its annual general meeting (AGM) its membership voted unanimously to dissolve the pressure group after conceding that its task of fighting for unmetered net access had been won.

    In a brief statement CUT said: "After three years of effort, the Campaign had fulfilled its objectives - there being sustainable unmetered telecommunications at reasonable cost in the United Kingdom - and that it was time to stop when ahead.

    "Committee members will continue to contribute to industry events and discussions on their own initiative," it said.

    Well done and congrats to the C.U.T. - let's hope that IrelandOffline has at least as much success as them.

    i dont think so some how, those guys were very focus, one pproblem with a clear and simple answer, all the yhad to do was apply the pressure for long enough.

    how exactly does iol plain to slove the problem of not flat rate 24/7 access.
    i know getting eircom to move on it would help but how will you do that.

    i think you guys should probably set up a complete mandate of what your aims are and how you plain to achieve them.

    not slagging you guys off or anything, you have come along way
