The AFR covers the internet...1995 to 2005


The Australian Financial Review (Australia's daily business and finance orientated newspaper), has a 12 page special today titled "Internet: 1995-2005".

It covers a whole heap of interesting things and it has to be the best coverage given to the internet (in the traditional media) in Australia since the dot-com days. It's giving me strange feelings of de-ja-vu though ;)

It has stories with headings such as:

  • Delirous rise of dotcom fever
  • Web-linked shoes? It's all coming
  • E-volution: you ain't seen nothin' net
  • Cyber attackers using trojan emails
  • Float fad sinks as boutiques shut doors
  • Google starts search for mew worlds to conquer
  • Centerlink to trial private-public link
  • Phase one of revolution
  • Technology's next big step, making it less technical
  • Microsoft's all-in-one vision
  • City provides free wi-fi access
  • Google launches second desktop salvo at search rivals
  • Bubble burst but glory remains, says Cisco
  • Savvy firms catch profits in their web
  • Working towards a wired world
  • Explorer has more address sense after makeover
  • Dotcoms recycle an old technique (look for my quotes)
  • Call to free telcos for net gain
  • Internet cops arrest Sister
  • How the broadband race was one
  • Born globals give Skippy the flick
  • Booed for all to see - from cyberspace
  • eBay trades on community's passion for success
  • Potent blend comes to the boil

Thats a lot of stuff...Mark has been a busy boy lately.

Oh yeah...don't try and find the articles on the AFR website though...subscription only :(
