> This talk will present findings from two research projects,
> one investigating broadband adoption and usage in Canada, the other
> looking at the love-hate relationships people have with mobile
> devices like Blackberries. The presenter will highlight some  
> problems and
> challenges anticipated in developing additional broadband capacity
> (an issue the Australian government is tackling at the moment), and
> present some insights into how mobile devices can help and hinder
> work-life balance.
