[AusNOG] Commsday: Singtel releases 10Gb Residential Broadband

[Clive Austin]

Wow! ....but hang on a minute... didn't Tony Abbot & Co Pty Ltd figure

future? If these people in Singapore are given huge 10Gbps straws, isn't 
there a danger they'll suck up the entire internet and leave nothing for 
us? OMG!!!
