The government has extended its subsidy to help rural Australians establish a broadband connection by four years.
The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) is disappointed the federal budget failed to allocate new funds to further the rollout of a world class high-speed broadband network.

The Olympics are nearly over, and the Australian team deserves kudos for an excellent performance all around.

The Telstra F850 offers a relatively inexpensive way to jump aboard the carrier's Next G platform, as long as you don't mind travelling in the slow lane.
Telstra's prepaid wireless broadband offering is good for casual browsers or those who'd rather avoid dodgy Net cafes, but beware there's a pricing sting to be considered.
