There's no shame in admitting you were wrong - something you seemed to have less trouble doing in 2015 than you do now.
I have just been through these posts. I had indeed clarified that I thought broadband would be rolled out to cover virtually the whole country by 2025. I also said ‘things will look different’ by 2025. If you read this in context with the posts at the time, what I meant by that was that by 2025, the advance of the streaming services would help people to understand the way we were going, and the future in my vision would not look so out of place.

I do understand that my comments may have been genuinely misunderstood, and I have apologised for that, but why this is such an issue for some of you I do not understand. It was 2015 when I started that thread, and I clarified the 2035 date in 2015 as well, and so it has remained over the five years since. Clearly, it is not fluid to my mind at all, but nor is it set in stone. Nothing compels the conventional channels to close. It is simply what I believe will happen. You may all disagree, and that’s fine.

But to argue the toss about a minor misunderstanding in 2015, which was fairly quickly clarified, is just obsessive. It’s 2020 now, for God’s sake!
