Starting Australia Day (January 26), myKP will introduce itself as a new ISP, promising broadband without caps. Their Hero Platform plan is $80 per month and the full product details, and small print, will be released on Australia Day. The access will be offered initially on a limited basis to myKP Free Wi-Fi Community residents spread across a number of councils (mostly NSW).
Additionally, good to see that soon they’ll introduce some more Sydney CBD (Pitt Street) and Haymarket free hotspots.
Anna from Woollahra Council Library lets us know about…
“more Sydney wifi – now at the Paddington and Double Bay branches of Woollahra Council Library in eastern Sydney. At Double Bay, the network reaches through most of the surrounding gardens too – it’s a beautiful spot and lots of things to help with concentration and/or procrastination! Our provider is uConnect, so the terms of service are the same as the City of Sydney’s wifi.”
So next time, go procrastinate at:
- Paddington Library – Paddington Town Hall, 247 Oxford St (cnr Oatley Rd)
- Double Bay Library – 536 New South Head Rd, Double Bay (near Redleaf Pool)
Thanks Anna!
The Times Of India writes about the Mumbai police looking out for unsecured Wifi connections:
City policemen will be soon seen roaming in the streets with laptops
in their hands in search of unsecured Wi-Fi connections, in the backdrop of terror mails sent before blasts and terror attacks.
Owners will get notices from the police when their access point is “not password protected or secured”. How do they define “secured”? Will the owner get a notice when he uses WEP over WPA? Will they check for default and weak passwords?
So, because they send emails over open Wifi access points before the attacks, something they could have done with a wireless (broadband) modem or mobile phone, all Wifi needs to be closed up?
