So yes, I’ve not posted for a while but I’ve just been too busy over the summer months doing work that actually pays and blogging on my running site www.1095miles.com to actually get around to doing anything on WoJ.
Despite a good six weeks of inactivity, it’s nice to see people are still paying an interest to the site though and earlier this week, I received a note from Fraser Henderson, who put me onto Europetition, a new online initiative via the EU to e-petition the European Parliament.
It seemed like the ideal way to re-start the wi-fi campaign… though I do have it on some authority that a major hotel chain is not a million miles from allowing people a certain bandwidth for free.
This would allow email access and surfing but not be enough to download movies. It’s something I think would be a more than fair compromise: the chain would get massive customer loyalty from such a move without losing the extra revenue stream of in-room pay for movies.
Nonetheless, until that happens (when it does, everyone else will have to follow suit) it can’t hurt to put it out there again, and so I have set up an e-petition to the European Parliament.
Given the e-petition thing is still in its infancy and you have to do it through a UK council, all of which are not yet set up to do it, I have had to plunder the website of North Lincolnshire’s local authority.
At the current time of writing, the petition has been accepted but I am still waiting for it to go live, when it does, I’ll publish the details on here.
