Again, it does seem like frustration is mounting in interesting ways, but I'm not sure there will be some dramatic tipping point.

That was a long and drawn-out battle fought in different countries; it's not like BBC and the CBC in Canada just magically appeared out of the ether. People had to organize for it. I'm always willing to be surprised.
