10:00AM Angus Kidman | Internet service providers often sell modem and router hardware, but rarely do much to brand it beyond adding basic customer settings before shipping. iiNet’s BoB is a slightly more versatile beast, offering two USB ports for charging and connectivity and allowing up to five handsets to be connected for use with VOiP services.

8:39AM Angus Kidman | Further proof that 3G broadband really is the new Internet battleground: iiNet has just signed a deal with 3 to resell its 3G broadband offerings. While those will be standard 3 services at the usual prices, the announcement hints that there is “further opportunity for close collaboration between iiNet and 3 in the future”. (As much as we’d like it, we doubt that this deal will see iiNet’s free access to iTunes added onto mobile broadband services, alas.) iiNet isn’t the first ISP to make this kind of deal — Primus has a longstanding arrangement with Optus, for instance — and it probably won’t be the last. Given the lack of pricing difference, the major benefit could be in getting a single bill. If you’re looking for a 3G broadband service, be sure to check out our guide to the best deals.

5:00AM Angus Kidman | Apparently not content merely with offering access to iTunes and the ABC’s iView without affecting your monthly download limit, ISP iiNet has also now added Xbox Live gaming content to the list of quota-free material. The announcement makes it pretty clear that it’s gaming-only for now, though Xbox options in Australia being more restricted than the US, this isn’t much of a problem. What we’d really like to see is other ISPs following iiNet’s lead: come on people, it’s supposed to be a competitive market! More »
