I understnd the point about mobile phones and internet connections - but I
don't agree that this gives a legimate reason for their use in libraries!
Surely punters who are using their phones for internet access should be
using their own machines.
Or is the hidden agenda here that this is a perfect opportunity for
libraries to offer internet access *without* the associated call/connection
cost!!!!?
