And while we're on the subject… a new study from Goldman Sachs estimates that 300 million full-time jobs currently performed by humans could be swept away by the advance of AI – though it could also prompt a productivity boom and some new jobs, according to a BBC report.

Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has struck a distribution deal with DAZN that will see some of DAZN's boxing and other, dodgier combat sports available to Virgin TV customers on a pay-per-view basis via the DAZN app on their VMO2 set-top box.

Two thirds of Brits who have signed up to new broadband deals this year regret doing so because of mid-contract price rises from some providers that are due to kick in next month. That is the attention-grabbing headline of new research from UK altnet Hyperoptic, which found that almost a quarter (24%) of those surveyed had no idea any increase was coming, let alone a near-15% one. Several broadband providers – BT, EE, Plusnet, TalkTalk and Vodafone among them – are hiking their charges by the rate of inflation plus up to 3.9% on top in the middle of contracts, without giving customers the right to exit the contract penalty-free. According to Hyperoptic, more than 1 million UK households have agreed a new broadband contract since the exact amount of the April price increase was known to all broadband providers, but three quarters were unaware of the exact amount of increase they would be facing.
