Teletext service

Bill, the Teletext service actually still is very much in use today over here in the Netherlands although support of the service in the UK has dwindled with the coming of digital tv. Still in the Netherlands both commercial and state broadcasting services use the teletext service extensively and it is a quick and easy way to get weather, public transport, news and traffic info instantly.

Breaking news often appears on Teletext before 'The News' is able to put it out there. Of course we Dutch, Belgians and Germans are strange animals still using the Teletext service! :)
