"Canberra"? As in, Pham Nuwen's medieval home planet?
Oh, you mean Canberra, Australia.
For those of you who can't click on the link directly from your email
browsers, this is about 36 megabit/sec direct, fiber-to-the-curb
Internet access, without any coaxial "hybrid" systems to slow things
down. Also, it doesn't degrade when you get more subscribers, unlike
current cable Internet providers. The way a planetary network *should*
work, without legacy infrastructure.
Sounds like a nice place to live, yep.
