<div>Sorry, I was typing too fast, I meant to say that "prevents operators from blocking skype". Yes that was a "typo" on my part. (Lesson to self: check before sending/emailing)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is useful and I always like to see the source/principal document as opposed to the articles because sometimes I find that the media can sensationalise what actually occurred. I also want to see the rationale used and also if there were exceptions to the rule.</div>

<div>Thanks for this Peter.</div>
