Irish Internet Woe

Dear Future Gamer

So Sega's chief gives the keynote speech at Milia and tells us that the Internet isn't enough. Also, Sega release figures which show that over 200,000 Dreamcast owners have logged on to the Internet. What they don't say is that some people are still excluded from doing so. Here in the third-world country that is Ireland we're still without Internet access. This is in spite of Sega sending out posters to my local EB before Christmas saying that Ireland would be online before the millennium (whichever one that is).

Now it's the middle of February and still there's no sign of online services here. There are even rumours that owners may require a new disc to log on. Even the EB store where I used to work don't know what Sega's plans are - Sega have told them "soon". To Mr Irimajiri, I say: the Internet may not be enough, but I wouldn't know, would I?

FG: Sega have been dogged with problems regarding getting people online through Dreamcasts, but we know they're on the case. Sorry Rory, you're just going to have to be patient.
