"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.
