    <p><font face="Verdana">The letter makes some good points, but we
        are extremely disappointed to note that in terms of a socio-economic
        rights agenda, it stops at the market-ideological element of
        "increased competition". It does not go beyond to seek social
        and economic justice for all. And if sees 'people' just as
        consumers and no more.... Can we put in a point asserting the
        need for social and economic justice in the digital age? If
        required, we can provide an appropriate text. <br>
