    2. According to OECD stats published Dec 2006, broadband penetration for Australia was 19.2% (based on Sept 06 stats) ranking 19th in the world. (http://www.oecd.org/document/7/0,3343,en_2649_34223_38446855_1_1_1_1,00.html)
      Compare this with the other countries in the OECD table and where Australia ranks for SL usage. We’re actually far ahead for 3-D web usage. Imagine what would happen if Rudd takes government and we get a national infrastructure :-)
