More likely it is the Brisbane GoCard or Perth SmartRider - which use the horribly insecure MiFare Classic, which was compromised some years ago and there are 'off the shelf' exploits.
The operator of the Brisbane system even tried to play down the significance of the MiFare Classic exploit when it was known before launch.
The ones in my area (here in Victoria,Australia) are frequency hopping in the 900MHz unlicensed use band (never has been used for GSM900 here). Jamming one channel won't kill anyones supply. Apparently each meter has an IPv6 based connection as well.
It isn't proprietary - it is part of the USB3 spec, but hardware that actually supports it appears to have been missing, until now. There has been a Linux driver for a while now, and TFA says Windows 8 will implement it too.
The APAC 700MHz is a straight forward split in half, 45MHz each up and down with a some separation in the middle.
The US has two major 700MHz bands which are presently incompatible, CPE-wise with each other, yet alone other frequency plans for the "700MHz" block.
because those frequencies are allocated to terrestrial TV in Australia.
It is actually because Australia will be using the (more sensible) 'digital dividend' plan with the rest of the Asia region once we finally turn off digital TV, not the US layout which was carved up according to political and profit motives. I don't think there are any interference issues. Maybe the UK regulator is tight on available bandwidth in the European 800MHz band.
Top infected ISPs:
Search eBay - I bought a 3.2" LCD with touchscreen like this one (~$25) and I'm currently working on driving it with an ARM Cortex-M3 controller.
The downside is that these ones are generally designed to interface with 8051 or 68000-type micros, hence they only expose the 16-bit parallel bus on the LCD controller. Not as optimal, but the displays are quite cheap.

Then tell everyone who he is monitoring to use a VPN.
Hardly the only reason.
If you live in Australia, you would already pirate everything else anyway - the commercial TV networks are terrible - poor HD content, editing programs to fit more ads in, US content shown when convenient for them etc.
And subscription television was a flop here well before BitTorrent existed.
On the other hand, the SNR seems to be much better than other venues, both in content and discussions. Which is why I keep coming.
Exactly. The technology in question was adopted for 802.11a and g. The Ars article is flamebait.
Don't be dicks.
There are 1TB plans out in the marketplace, why would you assume that the cap would remain constant?
No doubt someone will come out with a 100Mbps 'unlimited' plan.. of course, the contention ratio would be a very big number.
All copper lines in the fibre footprint under the Australian NBN rollout are being decommissioned, the only people who will remain are those getting wireless or satellite broadband services, for POTS usage.
Some would argue that Telstra, by keeping the copper lines active until forced to decommission them (as is the deal), makes it easier for a future opposition government to scuttle the fibre rollout.
Remember to say hello to your bank teller.
