@drwho @skymtf @Em0nM4stodon by the mid-late 90s most young people already had GSM mobiles and telephone calls in Britain were dirt cheap or even free (most mobile plans gave free minutes) - whole subcultures such as the rave scene, pirate radio stations were built on this access to affordable and fairly secure comms (even before the Internet became widespread, which was only from late 90s/early 00s)
