High speed broadband for Australia – the unexplored country

Bycraigthomler 6 May 2009

This morning I am presenting at Public Sphere #1 – High bandwidth for Australia in a personal capacity.

The event will discuss what high speed bandwidth can do for Australian society, business and government.

I have previously posted some ideas on this topic and will be talking today about how the killer applications and services for a 100Mbit plus service are likely to not have been invented yet.

For those not attending the event, I have attached my presentation below and will add a transcript in the near future.

I will hopefully be liveblogging the event after my presentation throughout the morning.

They’ve become a regular feature of the landscape in the UK, US, Canada and even New Zealand, however there’s been less interest in Australia for running one –…

Bycraigthomler 6 November 2008

Social networking is still often considered a pastime of the young or frivolous, however, like other new technologies before it, the extent and rate of adoption of social media tools is phenomenal.

Where’s the carrot for accessibility?
Bycraigthomler 24 May 2011

Possibly the hottest topic for Australian government web managers this year is ‘accessibility’, following on from the release of the Web Accessibility National Transition Strategy by AGIMO (the Australian Government Information Management Office).

Avoiding reinventing the wheel – an emerging case study
Bycraigthomler 23 October 2012

It often starts when politicians announces they’re going to do or launch something and agencies are then tasked with making it actually happen.
