thread_title: Local issues

message: The Link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Asia is redirected to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet#Internet_by_region where in fact I was coming from, when visiting this site. Also in this section there is nothing but two links to other pages. So I see no point in redirecting to the Internet#Internet_by_region section. - Bubu 84.183.248.174 (talk) 20:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

* ==France== removing most of the text, reverting to an old 2004 revision or so. This is the part I know, i have just written down the december 2005 situation. Since I don't know what is really true for other countries, I don't want to revert those edits now, but I will sunday if nobody is against.
The editor, 212.120.155.66 seems to have an habit of deleting information. Ths IP belongs to a small block, 212.120.155.64 - 212.120.155.127, owned by Cormac O'Murchu, Yac.com, IDM Business Park, Donegal, Galway (Ireland). yac.com seems to be a fax service with a susidiary in ireland, [Yac.ie]. --Marc Lacoste 10:30, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism? 

message: It could be interesting to make categories by continent: Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, to avoid the arm-length alphabetic list. International comparison is easier with proximity. --Marc Lacoste 09:30, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. --Marc Lacoste 14:00, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose to move DSL around the world here: DSL is only one broadband technology, and it could be interesting to replace it in a broader context and the addition of Broadband issues by country --Marc Lacoste 14:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move and merge 

message: Can someone NPOV the Ireland section. Sentences like: "In Ireland, the telephone monopoly Eircom resisted the introduction of broadband because they were making so much money from per-minute billing on 56  kbit/s dialup." are not helpful. Even if this is true, the phrasing needs to be changed. ☆ CieloEstrellado 02:33, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ireland POV

message: New Zealand seems to repeat itself and contradict itself in several places. UBS is mentioned several times independently without building on past mentions, as is ULLS. It also seems to be a partial attack on Telecom NZ (I agree with what is said - but it's not neutral).
I've substantially re-ordered the New Zealand section and attempted to make claims clear. Hopefully it's in a state that someone can add information easily too. Greg 00:50, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: At the moment the article feels like a load of others thrown together. We need to give each country section a common layout, for example a table with different options available, or a box with key information. Any other ideas?--robertvan1 21:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Unifying the article

message: Countries with Adsl needs to be updated badly, especially major Asian countries.
Broadband is now offered at much higher speeds than 2mb. I dont know if it would be appropriate to include Adsl2, either way, information is out of date. --Unre4LITY 15:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Let's expand this "Internet access worldwide" topic-family, with a "Mobile" section!
Someone has created it! Let's help him to describe all the world Mobile Internet accesses!

message: is it just me or is this turning more into free advertising for some companies in South american and Asia than an impartial list? I think we shouldn't really be mentioning prices, as it makes the page into an ad. Same could go for bandwidth quotas too though I suppose. Stormscape 08:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scope of the article 

message: Someone has clearly taken to the time to perform what I consider an act of vandalism on this article by poorly separating it into smaller articles. For example, click Oceania, where did Australia go? This used to contain a very healthy and accurate scope of Australian broadband.
::Eh? Click on the link in the Oceania stub that says "Main article: Internet in Australia" and that's where you'll go.  If the health and accuracy of that article are deficient, they can be improved there.  Yes, the worldwide article was formerly huge and rapidly growing with national information.  So, someone chopped it into five, and those five have in turn been cut up by different editors.  Some editors decided to make new "BbIa in country x" articles, and some created BbIa sections in existing "Communications in country x" or "Internet in country x" articles.  
::If someone wants consistency between countries, they must do the work.  It will likely be better to discuss the proposed uniform method before doing all the cutting, moving and pasting.  My own preference would be the method used for Australia, but I'm too lazy to redo all the others to match that one, and some countries don't have an "Internet in country x" article and don't yet need one because their Internet service is either sparse or simple.  For readers who want to go quickly from one country to another, even if it's on the other side of the world, perhaps this worldwide article should be the main article for a Category.
