Here's an interesting article about Telstra (Australian telco) getting out of Second Life, but also revoking unmetered access to Second Life for its broadband customers. In a country with bandwidth caps, this is a concern for users: “By removing the unmetered usage from Second Life will actually remove the ability of so many to be able to remain in Second Life and to be able to remain in contact with friends. Those that suffer from disabilities, depression, etc will once again become isolated. This is totally discrimination against the housebound, the disabled, the depressed, the gamers,” said the user, who is planning to take the matter to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman." http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/bigpond-pulls-plug-on-secon...
