According to the data available from Whirlpool, 57.7% of Australians share files using P2P.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the possibility of the content industry owning shares in the broadband networks and that if they did - then P2P was merely another distribution channel.
Today, I’ll revisit the scenario, but this time from the perspective of policy makers.
Consider, if you will, the role of the Australian government in P2P file sharing.
The Australian government originally owned the majority of Telstra’s shares and has been selling off chunks since 1997.
Telstra claims they have 5,507,000 subscribers of Australia’s 7,228,000 internet users.Therefore it follows that Telstra is the Carriage Service Provider (CSP) that enables the highest level of P2P file sharing.

12 Billion Light years away we see a Huge gamma-ray blast!
Taking into account the huge distance from earth of the burst, scientists worked out that the blast was stronger than 9,000 supernovae -- powerful explosions that occur at the end of a star's lifetime -- and that the gas jets emitting the initial gamma rays moved at nearly the speed of light.
The US space agency's Fermi telescope has detected a massive explosion in space which scientists say is the biggest gamma-ray burst ever detected, a report published Thursday in Science Express said.
The spectacular blast, which occurred in September in the Carina constellation, produced energies ranging from 3,000 to more than five billion times that of visible light, astrophysicists said.
Studying gamma-ray bursts allows scientists to "sample an individual star at a distance where we can't even see galaxies clearly," Reddy said.The Fermi gamma-ray space telescope was developed by NASA in collaboration with the US Department of Energy and partners including academic institutions in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden and the United States.

Ares Music and Songs and File --> addicted
I got directed to ares about 6 months ago and now I think I am an ares addict. I have always been into songs and music just like anyone else ... but today I find myself saying up evening and trying to get the newest song or getting a program that I don't have ... even though I have no intentions of using it :-) Ares is a program that lets you share files with other ares members ... check it out :-).

Earth has Fantastic Real Estate
Earth, which is located inside our solar system is in a part of the Milky Way that many scientists call the galactic habitable zone. “We live in prime real estate,” say Scientific American magazine. . This zone is about 28,000 light years from the center of the galaxy and contains just the right concentrations of the chemical elements needed to support life. Farther out, those elements are too scarce; farther in, the neighborhood is too dangerous because of the greater abundance of potentially lethal radiation and other factors.
