Consumer 'needs' have been formed by gatekeepers to shape their profit motives, so this is a bit of a red herring.
- Mauricebranagh 6y agoSo exactly how do you persuade an OAP (Senior) who uses their phone mostly to call their Children to upgrade and pay more so that you can have pointless bragging rights about FTP. I am sure incumbents would love to move low revenue customers onto more expensive plans.

Some people might not actually need high speed internet - but this doesn't change the possibility (I would say fact) that the market of available goods and services, and in turn, the entire 'culture' around internet usage, has been distorted by industry interests.
