Why put up with the failure of your vendor to provide updates for your broadband router's firmware? Just do it yourself: Linux-style.
I have seen the NBN, and it looks a lot like Christina Aguilera.

Yet behind the streaming TV, one question lingers -- and not even the government seems able to answer it.
Sydney-based start-up Audinate is making traditional analog cabling obsolete in favour of TCP/IP-based networking technology. And it's doing a pretty good job so far, with its technology used by World Youth Day and the Sydney Opera House.
Like the engineers that sat down on day one with an empty blackboard and a mission to get man to the moon and back, building the NBN from the ground up is a daunting and complex opportunity that will present more than its share of challenges.
