Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has scrapped the broadband tender process in favour of forming a public/private company to build and operate a massive broadband fibre to the home network which will cost over AU 40 billion dollars.

By on August 22, 2008 in Interviews, IPTV, Newspapers, Television

Will MyHome be unique?

By on December 5, 2006 in IPTV, Portals, Television

Many people are guessing about the myhome.com.au development and what difference it will bring to the market and I am going to place my guess here!

Where there will be [...]
