Telstra has cancelled subscription plans for its urban wireless hotspots as it continues to push business customers towards its Next G data and voice network.
update: The New South Wales government has called for expressions of interest from industry groups to build and operate its planned free Wi-Fi broadband network.
A faster Wi-Fi standard appears to be about a year away, after a task group unanimously approved a proposal for an update to the 802.11g standard.
With the rollout of 3G promised "any time soon" many people are becoming concerned about the negative aspects of linking mobile phones to the Web.
Academics, business executives and members of government agencies will join forces to discuss their concerns about wireless security.
Last week, a family friend rang for some technical help. "Telstra sold me this wireless Internet service and they promised it would work both at my home and at my office," he said. Said home is in the Melbourne CBD, and said office is in Kyneton, a lovely town about an hour away from Melbourne.
This week Australia's Federal Government announced it had allocated $3.6 million in funding to 57 local research projects so that they could be commercialised, with many of them being web or IT-related start-ups.
If there ever was an opportunity for a broadcaster to showcase the potential of internet video, this was it, and Seven has blown it. Perhaps its executives should have rung their mates at NBC in the US and gotten some pointers on online coverage.
Watching the latest, hilarious stage in the Jimmy Kimmel-Matt Damon "feud" -- which racked up 2.5 million YouTube views in one day -- I was struck by a thought: who in the world is paying for all this bandwidth?
Well, here we are. After years of bluster, measured progress and loads of annoyance, Australia's broadband users head to the polls on Saturday with a score to settle.
Get this wireless thing right, and we could well be beneficiaries of a far-reaching boost in productivity.
Academics, business executives and members of government agencies will join forces to discuss their concerns about wireless security.
It seemed to be an obvious recipe: take two popular emerging technologies and stir vigorously. But the end result isn't to everyone's taste.
The Bluetooth wireless standard for connecting peripherals is being integrated with other wireless technologies such as the 802.11b WLAN protocol in chips and devices.
Skype sees the mobile market as the next frontier for its service, but economic realities in the voice market -- coupled with mobile operators who feel threatened by Skype -- could put the kibosh on large-scale adoption for some time to come.
NetComm Turbo 7 Series Wireless Gateway provides an easy set-up, good coverage and modest speed. While this system gives you the advantage of portable wireless gateway, wireless services are less reliable and cannot match ADSL2 speeds.
They're big and quite ugly, but there's no doubting that Netgear's WNHDEB111 delivers in the 802.11n speed stakes finally!
The Linksys WRT54GS is especially well suited for networks with both 802.11g and 802.11b connections.
With the rollout of 3G promised "any time soon" many people are becoming concerned about the negative aspects of linking mobile phones to the Web.
