Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition).

John Howard and Helen Coonan really must think the electorate and the Australian media totally bereft of any collective memory. How else could it hope to get away with the regurgitation of discredited policies and unfulfilled promises that passes for the latest $119m 'protecting families' online initiative?
