Vizzavi frogmarches Brit users to toe Euro line
L'outfit gone barking mad

British Net users are being forced to adopt European Net practices - and all in the name of uniformity.
Vizzavi users who have an unorthodox email address will be left to rot following the launch of a new platform next week.
Those users who don't have a name.name@vizzavi.whatever moniker have until Monday 18 December to change it.
According to customer services: "The move is designed to bring us in line with the rest of Europe.
"We need to have a uniform email address," she said.
Sounds like the start of an Euro ISP super state.
Vizzavi is a joint venture between the Vivendi and Vodafone providing a multi-access European portal. ®
