Take a look at what ZDNet Australia readers have checking out this year, with our list of the most read blogs of 2007.
Will the AU$3 billion Connect Australia package stimulate bush broadband or simply fatten up some of Australia's existing telcos?
Facts are facts, right? Not when Telstra, Optus and the communications regulator are involved. With temperatures rising across the board over the contentious issue of broadband, mud-slinging and half-truths have become the order of the day.
Alcatel is playing cheerleader for Telstra in trying to get a good deal from the competition regulator for the telco's proposed new broadband network.
Perhaps the most worrying development for Australian hotspot operators is that PC vendors like Lenovo and Dell are taking 3G broadband and running with it.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
Hillary Clinton's nine lives are not yet depleted and, despite allegations that her stubborn refusal to concede defeat earlier has fragmented her party, she fought her battle to the very end. By placing bets several ways, that battle may just turn into gold for her down the track. Has Optus taken a leaf out of Hillary's book?
For no particular reason that I can discern, a 1979 Kenny Rogers song popped into my head as I was considering the ever more complex morass that is the national broadband network tender which Senator Stephen Conroy defended in his CeBIT keynote speech.

As long as they're busy, he's making money. If he finds enough new business to keep them all going for two weeks, he can take off for Hawaii -- and still be making money.
Watching the latest, hilarious stage in the Jimmy Kimmel-Matt Damon "feud" -- which racked up 2.5 million YouTube views in one day -- I was struck by a thought: who in the world is paying for all this bandwidth?

The TA612V is a solid unit that provides a low-cost way to make VoIP calls. It is a good choice for a household or small home office where users are keen to cut their telephone bills.
Complacency by one Internet provider left them with a poor result in our tests but what if this wasn't a test?
The broadband business -- plans, peaks, and penalties -- can be confusing to say the least. We line up some of Australia's best.
The DVC-1000 is an easy-to-use videoconferencing option for broadband users who don't want to be tethered to their PCs.
Although it's difficult to master, WebEx Meeting Center's slick conferencing tools are an effective alternative to face-to-face conferences.
