Update - Three Restricts Internet Access

Dec

2007

A few months back I reported that Three had restricted access through their network (3netaccess) to certain web sites that are normally available via other providers (like twitter). As expected I lodged a support call with this problem.

Well I’m happy to report that about three months later, Three have finally fixed the problem so now we should be getting unrestricted access on both the 3netaccess and 3services networks.

The one point of interest was the level of support service that Three offered. They phoned with an update to the support issue at least twice a week, keeping me updated with the progress each time.

Are Sites Considering OpenID or Not

Are we being locked out of OpenID

OpenID is a really great idea. It allows you have a single point of login combined with the ease of the use of a multiple profile based identity. I’m a bit of a supporter of OpenID and it’s universal adoption. But maybe some aren’t as fully committed as expected.

Now you would think that the sites promoting that they are using OpenID would be really making a moderate attempt to see it presented as an alternative to the standard login account creation process.
