[VoIP] UK Speaking Clock

[Ian Jolly]

We have a slight problem with the UK Speaking Clock - on +44 8081 - on the UK loop   :-(

Due to 'royalty' problems initially believed to have been caused by a request from Sarah Mendez de Costalot (one of the voices of the Speaking Clock over the years http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaking_clock#List_of_voices_heard_on_the_British_speaking_clock)  for royalties on the number of times that the Speaking Clock is called, the Speaking Clock has had to be moved 'off shore' until the problem is sorted out.

It is then outside the control of UK authorities and a lot cheaper to run !  ;-) 

However the clock service is still available to those of you who use the UK's 'Speaking Clock' loop  on +448081.

We hope to have the service with Pat Symmonds resumed as soon as possible.
