The tribe of bridge players on the island of Great Britain universally use bidding boxes. But for most Aussie national championships (for example, the recent Victor Champion Cup) written bidding is used.
Hence I agree with Gordon Rainsford's support of geographical diversity of bridge regulation in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity:

I accept that Bidding boxes aren’t always appropriate e.g. for on-line play.  

I feel that  the objectors to a level playing-field  are mostly rule-makers and directors. 

E.g. Scottish players experienced no problem changing from our local rules to standard WBF regulations; although, like most current rules, WBF regulations are improvable.
