I'm sure there are, but no better place to raise the issue just at the 
moment, as it's one of the most significant frictions between users and 
the provider community.

I'm constantly being asked by ordinary users whether or not "something 
will be done" about one of the major menaces affecting their Internet 
experience, or whether (to use a well worn phrase) we are still in the 
"Wild West" period of its development.

Of course there is work being done, very good work. But changes in 
governance procedures could give those people much better tools to work 
with.
