A Plan to Extend Super-Fast Broadband Connections to All Americans
Source: Century Foundation
Few doubt that broadband communications are increasingly vital to our social and economic well-being. The universal availability of affordable high-speed access to the Internet has become essential not only for business, but also for public safety, research, education, health care, and protecting the environment.

But that's essentially what this article is going to be about and, more specifically, why (some say) internal collaboration tools within law firms are doomed to fail. However, failure can also be useful in understanding how tools such as intranets, or collaboration tools like Confluence, are used and what could drive future projects to success.

Privacy - Don't Hold Your Breath
Friday, 17th May 2013
The discovery that Bloomberg News journalists have been making use of customer data raises broader privacy issues.
