There is a distinct culture of selfishness in the UK; at least as far as wireless internet access goes. People seem to regard bandwidth as their own to be hoarded and not shared. My friends cannot understand why I haven't encrypted my wireless broadband connection. But for most of the time I'm not using all the bandwidth available so isn't it just selfish if I stop others using something that I have no use for? I also remember being horrified at an hotel I was staying in charging £15/day to use the internet service. Given the cost of providing the service it must make plenty of money from those who use it but made no money at all from me as I refuse to be willingly robbed.
