With a Federal election just around the corner, there’s been a whole lot of promising, denying and baby kissing going on lately. While both sides have been spruiking policies, we watched with great interest last week as the National Broadband Network (NBN) briefly took centre stage.

A couple of month’s back we brought you some background information on the NBN and the advancements in broadband on the horizon for one and all. This month we bring you an update on the Government’s plans for its initial mainland rollout.

If you’re big on staying connected, you might know of a few WiFi hotspots in your area where you have access to wireless internet. If you’re not familiar with this technology, we take a closer look at how you might be able to take advantage of a handy web connection the next time you’re out and about.

This month we’ve also managed to squeeze in three great movie giveaways, with passes to see Tomorrow When the War Began, The Other Guys and Going the Distance up for grabs. Get your entries in and good luck!

Hope you’re braving the last of the winter weather; here’s to sunshine on the horizon!
