Here in Norway, one of the richest countries in the world - we still have monopoly on the telecompany, Telenor. The normal working guy, have no alternatives to dial-up than a leased line - and thats EXPENSIVE up here. Some cabel companies have established here - but none of them delivers outside the major city`s. We pay aprox. 1-2US$ pèr hour for internet access. Thats because Telenor owns ALL the telephone-cables in norway. So - in UK, you at least have some sort of alternative.. we don`t.:)
