back to article EU digi tzar: 'I like the nickname STEELIE NEELIE. Yeah, why not'

Outgoing Brussels' unelected digi commissioner Neelie Kroes was in London this morning for her swansong in the UK's capital city, ahead of the vice-president's tenure ending later this month. Steelie Neelie surprisingly remarked that she liked the nickname The Register had given her. When asked about the moniker, she said: " …

  1. John Brown (no body) Silver badge
    Thumb Down

    "...it's a stupid line to be only the pipe owner,"

    "Steelie Neelie said. She argued that telcos should be creating specialised services"

    That sounds like she's in favour of bringing back the likes of AOL and Compuserve. We already know what happened to that model.
