Easy you think? It doesnt seem that way! Last season the system was designed in a hurry and utilised WinMedia, thus cutting off those who couldn't avail themselves of it, so this year I thought I would go with Shoutcast/Icecast for mp3/ogg streaming, and to top it off would use the Java applet available from Javazoom the problem being that java security requires the applet to be hosted within the same domain as the stream originates from and the webhost provider doesnt do shoutcast. Do you think I can find a shoutcast hosting provider that hosts this file? The guys at Server Room claim to support it, but their support service tells me its a 'plugin I have to install on my machine' and when I point out the error of their ways simply stop responding to the chat. So I'm still looking for a shoutcast (or Icecast) hosting provider that will assist in the hosting of this file. Any takers?"

One of the cornerstones of the Federal Government's election platform was its AU$4.7 billion (about US$4.39 trillion) pledge to rollout a fibre-to-the-node national broadband network. This would bring speeds of at least 12 megabits per second (Mbps) to 98 per cent of the population.
