I think the Cisco stuff, as I did it, is portable enough. At the time Cisco released a new revision of the course which had two different editions: 'Discovery' (hands on -presumably not so portable) and 'Exploration' (theory based - following on from the previous version).
The theory based course covers the fundamentals of networking (at the small enterprise and ISP level at least) very well - quite a bit of the stuff in the curriculum appeared again in the telecommunications subjects I've done at University.
I was able to do the CCNA program as a unit for my high school certificate (VCE) here in Victoria, Australia. It was delivered through Cisco's Network Academy - to get the credit you had to pass the tests on netacad, but you still needed to sit the formal certification exams afterwards if you wanted the actual CCNA certification.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"For WWDC, this used to be channel 13, which is not licensed for use in the US, but is in Japan."
Does he have special WiFi firmware to go with it?
Channel 13 stops working on my MacBook if any access points with the country code set to 'US' are nearby, even though I'm clearly in Australia (where 13 is allowed).
In fact, under the NBN model, they could sign up and carry their own traffic from the alarm*, bypasing the telco middleman. Downside is they can pass the ongoing connection cost to the consumer. * (Presumably the ethernet ports on the ONT can be vlan segregated)
Uhh, from what I've heard, back to base alarms work perfectly fine over some existing FTTH rollouts. And some alarm companies are now moving to GSM/3G anyway.
And if you actually bother registering as a priority assistance customer no doubt NBNCo/whoever will give you a free UPS for that ONT.

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.

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.

Launch the testing app inside a standalone X11 instance - no window manager, just itself.

make that under (<) 100ms, usually 60ms at the low end.
I make VoIP calls over 3G just fine (even with G.711,G.729 better). My latency to the SIP server is 100ms typically.
Are they still using the block within 5/8? They better get off it.. before actual hosts get addresses from it within the next few months.
Seriously, I used to have RSI issues until I became a Mac laptop user. Two reasons why:
