Hi Harold, here Harold :-)

For over two decades now I frequently convey the message that the larger part of the IT industry is Infrastructural in nature. Just like electricity, water, sewage and gas, data is a life's necessity and should be managed as such.

I frequently get very annoyed when some engineer again has decided that data is not infrastructural. For example, this week at an airport I could go to the restroom without a permit, I could plug in my laptop adaptor with one but has to provide all kinds of personal details before connecting to the "free" wifi.

So I have a little suggestion: organisations need a hospitality permit more than users need a learners permit. I'm quite convinced that such a move would remove a large part of the learner aspect for the web.
