A talented team of performers will
create an unforgettable charity concert in Adelaide
next month to raise funds for homeless children from the largely forgotten
tragedy that hit Kenya
this year.
With the calamitous cyclone in Burma
followed by the massive earthquake in China, each new disaster causes
previous human tragedies to fade in memory although the suffering continues.
Kenyan charities are struggling to feed thousands of homeless children each day
after the civil strife that swept the east African nation earlier this year.
To raise money to help them, Adelaide
businessman and musician Mark Keough has organised a charity Concert for Kenya on
Saturday, June 14, at the Prince Alfred College Auditorium in Kent Town.
Headlining this special event is former West Coast US surf
singer Chuck Girard - whose hit song Little Honda was launched by the same
producer who discovered the Beach Boys - who went on to pioneer contemporary Christian music with his
1970s band Love Song.

Billion, which makes Australia’s
most popular broadband routers, has launched its first ADSL2+ routers that use
the 802.11n draft protocol to deliver faster wireless network access across greater
distances.
Billion’s Australian distributor, PC Range, is already
delivering three Wireless N devices – two routers and a wireless USB adapter –
through its national reseller channel http://au.billion.com/reseller.php.
For the past two years, Billion has topped the hardware
popularity table in the Australian Broadband Survey, conducted by tech-savvy
website Whirlpool. Last year, 23.7 per cent of the nearly 18,000 survey
respondents nominated Billion as their preferred brand, twice as popular as the
next placed brand.

 National broadband company Internode is offering a free
churn procedure until June 30 to draw customers from rival providers to
Internode's international broadband network.
Internode has dropped its $39 Fast Transfer fee
for the next seven weeks to encourage customers who are dissatisfied with their
current broadband provider to move to Internode. Customer churn is a term that
describes telecom customers moving from one service provider to another.
Internode, which regularly
scores high customer satisfaction levels in national surveys, is one of
the few large broadband companies that does not charge for data uploads.
Earlier this week, Internode announced that it had slashed
$5 a month across the range of its 8 megabit per second (Mb/s) ADSL broadband
plans, now called ADSL Plus. It has also lowered the cost and extended the
range of its Business plans.
Internode product manager Jim
Kellett said the free churn offer was a chance for unhappy
broadband users to benefit from Internode's revamped product range. "We now
have a broader range of more affordable plans, so the free churn offer makes
Internode even more attractive," he said.
