I would be keen to post a couple of times a week to the blog in regards to updates in Australia Asia/Pac region and I get good news come in often. Getting this sort of information from the commercial sources is often expensive, so in effect we have created an open source and free analyst desk keeping track of broadband around the world. We could extend it by doing online surveys, opinion pieces and a 'broadband finder' portal for people to search on the easiest way to get broadband in a foreign country when they are traveling (I bump into that all the time..). So we have more than enough for a separate site, and I for one would be very keen to assist in getting it setup - I can help with getting the wiki/blog setup (I do dev for WP as well).</p> <p>I have also joined #broadband on irc.freenode.org if the other contributors would like to idle along and discuss these things. I am on Sydney timezone (GMT+10)</p> <p>Cheers, Nik</p> Hi Om, I believe that a whole site could be built around this so having a separate setup with a wiki and a WordPress install would be excellent.

Do you really, I mean really, think that people with that kind of insight will actually just, like, happily line your pockets with free cash like that?

Get a life, please.

If you’re out there in the world, please go help. The goal: I have an idea to do a “broadband profileâ€? of the planet. What I would like to do is find contributors who are kind enough to write 250 words about the broadband situation in their country. In addition, I would love to get a list of: 1. Key Broadband Players 2. Main Access Technologies, like cable, or DSL 3. The price of bandwidth per megabit 4. Average Speeds available to consumers. 5. Anything else including links to some of the better blog posts about the “broadband situationâ€? in that country. [...]
