POPSSwitch on a chip to boost internet speed What a great improvement. Telstra is among the worst in the world, old equipment, just for starters. The comparison will show that this will make us as fast as the rest of the world.

POPSCharging by the Byte to Curb Internet Traffic Think about it--the telecoms have us by the short hairs. They also have immunity (or soon will) from prosecution for helping the Gov't spy on us if they want. We need to speak out about this, wherever possible.

POPSConfessions of a Wi-Fi Thief Some people thought of creative names for their networks: ParisBrooklyn, MessageInaBottle. Some were boring: linksys, NETGEAR, default. I was always happy to see the boring ones, because the people who don't bother thinking of clever names for their home networks are the same people who don't bother to password-protect them (A website called ThinkGeek.com sells a T shirt with a battery-powered wi-fi detector that displays the ambient signal strength wherever you happen to be standing. It's supercool, though if I'm too cheap to pay for broadband, I'm definitely too cheap to spend $30 on a T shirt.)

“Based on current trends, total bandwidth in the AT&T network will increase by four times over the next three years,” the company said in a statement. All three companies say that placing caps on broadband use will ensure fair access for all users. Internet metering is a throwback to the days of dial-up service, but at a time when video and interactive games are becoming popular, the experiments could have huge implications for the future of the Web. Even if the caps are far above the average users’ consumption, their mere existence could cause users to reduce their time online. Just ask people who carefully monitor their monthly allotments of cellphone minutes and text messages. “As soon as you put serious uncertainty as to cost on the table, people’s feeling of freedom to predict cost dries up and so does innovation and trying new applications,” Vint Cerf, the chief Internet evangelist for Google who is often called the “father of the Internet.”

POPSVirgin Media is the Law Another BBC post, I do read other sites, but I figured this I should share. Virgin plan to send letters to those people it feels are downloading and sharing music, working in conjunction with the BPI. Ok, so I know there is the whole legal issue here, but the context of the article is more related to TV shows, and I must admit, the guy has a point, we've all done it at some point I'm sure, whether it's downloading, or streaming from site like youtube. For instance, right now I'm watching music videos for Poets of the Fall on youtube, totally illegal, but the easiest way to see them. At the moment I'm using the 20Mb service from Virgin, and although it suits my needs (I have a housemate who uses it lots, I play the xbox online lots, and I host an FTP server for my dad to backup his files every night, so bandwidth usage is hgh) I may consider changing if this is the shape of things to come.

POPSOzmo's Wi-Fi Personal Area Network (PAN) technology Ozmo Inc. unveiled a chip and software that will offer wireless peripherals more bandwidth and battery life for less cost than Bluetooth. The company is working with Intel, which has already investigated the potential of Wi-Fi personal-area networks (PANs) for its notebooks.
