    It will eventuate with most online commercial news.

    There are ways around the login crap the the Tele has atm.

    Delete your dailytelegraph cookies in prefs whenever you get the login yada yada rubbish come at you on the page you are trying to view. Will work for a short time again until you have to do it again.
    This will only work for as long as they are trying to drum up subs & close off the free viewing altogether.

    Unfortunately everything on the interwebs has been free for so long we expect it to stay that way but it costs the person/company ever increasing amounts to stay online & produce the product. It has to eventually pay for itself. That's the reality.

    Be prepared to pay one day for your quality news service.
    Choose wisely.

              Sorry but one of the big problems with the "internet" generation is that they don't want to pay for anything.
              Sorry but they have a product that costs money to produce, I have absolutely no problem with them charging for it.
              Sure there are ads, but there are ads in the hard copy of their paper as well.

              I won't be paying for it, but its their product.

                Fair enough BUT u cant ask someone to pay $4 a week to log on to the tele site then have its on new.com for free

                    Use the Chrome browser. Open an "Incognito Window" and navigate to the Telegraph site.

                    Whatever you do, don't give money to Rupert Murdoch and his band of phone tapping criminals.
