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). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

The UK Government has just announced a review of broadband policy. The reasons given will be familiar to anyone in Australia who has been following the tortuous path of broadband policy development in this country for the past several years. But the approach is very different.

Australian Communications minister, Stephen Conroy claimed last week in support of his drive to mandate ISP filtering in Australia that "ISPs in a number of countries, such as the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway and Finland, have successfully introduced ISP level filtering."

The challenges facing the makers of what were once simply mobile telephone handsets as they evolve and strive to be all things to all people has been a recurring theme of some of my recent blogs and news items. It's nice to see the 'father' of cellular telephony picking up on the same issues and pronouncing the 'handset' obsolete.
