TPG is the first ISP to offer unlimited data plans on the National Broadband Network (NBN), with a $69.99 per month plan on the base level NBN speed of 12/1Mbps.
The 12-month plan is available with a TPG home phone rental and also includes unlimited local and standard national calls to landlines and unlimited international calls to some countries, such as the US, Canada and China.
Customers will be required to pay a $79.95 set-up fee and the plan is only available to new TPG customers.
The NBN plan compares to TPG’s unlimited ADSL2+ bundle with home phone line rental for $69.99 on a 24-month contract at speeds of up to 20Mbps. The plan includes unlimited local and standard national calls to landlines, 100 minutes of international calls per months and a wifi modem internet gateway.
While the company signed a wholesale agreement with NBN Co early this year, the company has been a latecomer to announce NBN plans, previously stating it was waiting to release plans when more people could access the network.
So far, only a limited number of areas in Australia can connect to the NBN.

Appropriate Backup Applications for Accelerated Virtualisation Projects
As virtualisation increasingly becomes an investment priority, a recent EDG survey has found that the associated operating expense can easily become too high a hurdle. In this paper, leading IT organisations quantify the role of inappropriate data-protection as a large obstacle to a stable virtualisation implementation.

Leading Through Connections – Insights from the Global Chief Executive Officer Study
IBM’s 2012 Global CEO study follows face-to-face discussions with more than 1,700 CEOs and senior public sector leaders from around the globe. The findings examine how CEOs are responding to the complexity of increasingly interconnected organisations, markets, societies and governments. For example, almost one-quarter of CEOs say their organisations operate below par in terms of driving value from data. CEOs have expressed frustration about their inability to capitalise on available information. This is because: “The time available to capture, interpret and act on information is getting shorter and shorter.” CEO, Chemicals and Petroleum, United States Given the need for deeper business insight, the best performing organisations are more adept at converting complex data into insights, and insights into action.

Endpoint Security and Virtualisation
Besides form factor, virtual systems are not really that different than physical systems. They both use the same operating systems and applications. They both present users with computing resources such as RAM and hard drives. Consequently, the ability to exploit vulnerabilities in a physical environment will present a significant threat to virtualised environments as well. This paper examines the different endpoint security methods for virtualised environments and presents how Endpoint Protection security provides optimal performance, protection and manageability.
