I looked into the internet shananigan a bit more.
Looks like it's true and it's starting 1/1/09. In short hand; Next year.
Once this starts; Australia gets an
%80
Drop in internet speeds.
As Kevin Rudd said -Australias current Prime Minister for those in the shadows-: He would bring Broadband speed internet to all year 9 schools. With an 80% drop its going to be more of a mix between IDSN and Dial-Up.
