    It's very up to the minute information!

    Can't seem to find it online though tribune.ie is under construction by Unison! Maybe someone is keyboard-keen and will type out bits of it? :)

    Sounds like crazy talk to me.

    The article is just an overview of the last couple of weeks of developments and and general internet environment in ireland regarding FRIACO and ISP activity.

    Plus a few words from David Long...:)

    The Sunday Tribune does'nt seem to have any web presence.

    Well its important to have such a comprehensive overview in a nationally circulated newspaper. Not everyone reads Boards! :)

    That's what journalism is supposed to be. It says a lot about the state of affairs regarding the attitude to technology, and reporting on it in this country, when people comment on something that should be covered anyway, actually appearing in the newspaper.

    The state of IT reporting so far has been dismal. A certain national newspaper, in an IT column covering computer jargon, even described an icon "as a graphic on a website which, when clicked, will bring you to a new page".:rolleyes:

    Hopefully this is the start of a better emphasis on, and more importance given to, technology and its impact on this country in the media.

    Before my involvement in IOFFL I wept at some of the reporting in national newspapers.

    By commenting on its "up to dateness" I am referring to the input we have into such articles. I spoke to the writer of this one for a considerable length of time earlier this week. As an organisation we are greatful for the opportunity to get our issues across.

    These are complex issues and quite frankly uninteresting to the majority of the population. Its important for us to be able to ensure that people who do take the time to cover our issues have the most accurate and up to date information we can provide.
