I have seen the NBN, and it looks a lot like Christina Aguilera. Or, at least, it looked like her when I dropped into Ericsson's Melbourne headquarters recently to see a live demo of their NBN solutions. Yet behind the streaming TV, one question lingers -- and not even the government seems able to answer it.
A guy I know runs a tiling business, which as far as I can see involves his drinking lots of coffee, making lots of phone calls, and making sure that around a dozen different tilers do the actual hard work.

Australia's first pure wireless Internet service provider launched its commercial broadband Internet service in Sydney today, claiming full independence from Telstra-owned telephony infrastructure.
Modem manufacturer D-Link had been distributing one of its ADSL modems to some of Telstra's largest wholesale customers without the carrier's interoperability certification for around four months.
Complacency by one Internet provider left them with a poor result in our tests but what if this wasn't a test?
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
Australia still has way to go before it can meet its full potential with wireless and broadband.
