It's not so long ago that travelers had to worry about highwaymen
<[link]> . As the Wikipedia entry notes,
they were done in by the railroads. In the US the owners became the robber

all who pass.

On the pre-conference interview with Brough Turner back at the start
of last February we spoke somewhat about mobile Internet data roaming
costs in Europe. There is not much point repeating what I had said as
