Warning: Avoid Heathrow Terminal 4

I forgot to mention in my post below:

While waiting for my flight to Brussels at LHR Terminal 4, I used one of the coin-operated internet access terminals. The access terminal blocks OfcomWatch!!! The message said OW was blocked because of inappropriate content.

I checked Roger Darlington’s CommsWatch - blocked too! I didn’t even bother with Ofwatch!

Ofcom was not blocked.

So, clearly the answer for business travelers who want to check for breaking media and communications regulation news and commentary: avoid Heathrow Terminal 4.

    Why would anyone block OfcomWatch and CommsWatch?!? Actually my site is labelled with the Internet Content Rating Association which means no sex and no violence. What else in on my site that is objectionable?

    Hi Roger,

    I don’t know!?!? I thought it was odd too.

    I sent a message to the turkeys who run those access terminals, asking what was up. I’ll let you know if I get any response… in fact - I’ll blog it!
