A consortium led by the CSIRO is designing a super-speed Internet for Australia to service high-end users in medicine and the film industry. It has received AU$14 million from the Australian Government to establish a Centre for Networking Technologies for the Information Economy.
Telstra, the large Australian telco, has just imposed a 3GB download limit on all cable and ADSL broadband users on its Freedom Plan, claiming 5% of users hog 35% of total bandwidth at any one time.
Web site Jump The Shark tries to pinpoint that defining moment when hit TV shows overreach, when a new character, guest star or plot device signals a loss of innocence — for me it was the incredibly lame Scrappy Doo.
Telstra has won another domain name dispute, wresting control of the telsra.com domain from a Melbourne typosquatter.
The EMI music group today signed with Roxio to add copy protection to its CD-authoring software, thus stopping people from copying illegal MP3 files onto blank CDs. There must be a lot of it going around — 5 billion blank discs will be sold in the US this year.
