On Wednesday ZDNet.co.uk was invited to see "The O2" — the enormous tent-like structure that used to be known as the Millennium Dome. A collaborative venture between the mobile operator and the Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), the site has been converted from a much-maligned marker of the new millennium to a bright new entertainment complex boasting two concert venues (one club-sized, the other London's largest purpose-built indoor arena), 11 cinema screens, two ice rinks, an "exhibition bubble" and a lot of shops and cafés.

The O2 will, in the organisers' words, "soft-launch" on Sunday with a concert featuring rockers Bon Jovi. The venue has not been officially opened yet, but O2 claims to have already sold 1.2 million tickets for upcoming events.

Could it be that ISP’s are making this out to be a bigger problem than it actually is? We’re a small country with an internet penetration of less than 60%, for every Youtuber there’s someone who only uses the internet to check their emails, more people surf on their mobile handsets than a few years ago. Surely things should even themselves up.
