Canberrans the nerdiest of them all

ZDnet has had a look at ABS data showing Canberrans are made of win when it comes to being online.

We just pip cashed up Western Australians and leave the luddite New South Welsh in the dust.

How about using real PC and network connectivity to develop a network that does not require bridges and hardware locks for restricting access

“FEATURE ARTICLE 1: INTERNET ACCESSIBILITY”.

“as a percentage of all occupied private dwellings”

Ever stack a report title to make it look like something has improved for everyone?

Does that mean we have to endure more people saying “epic fail”?

Now if only they could rip out the copper in Gungahlin and slam down a nice bit of fiber to every home, we’d really be happy about it too….

owning broadband is not nerdy, posting on a webforum is.

Doing my bit! I don’t own a TV and my radio’s not great… but iinet gives me free ABC and a plethora of radio stations!

Plus there’s all the uploading sexy photos to Facebook and flirting over Skype.

Would I be less likely to be online in NSW? Well I find when I go there that I tend to just talk to my friends instead of facebooking them while I’m sitting right next to them…
