This is silly. It's a matter of habit. We're accustomed to paying for

access so it will take a while for free to become the norm. However, once

it does, captains of industry will be lining up alongside yoof and grannies

for the free stuff (which, as I keep saying, isn't actually free anyway -

just metered differently)
