[LINK] ACCAN's NBN: Guide for Consumers

Not too bad for the general audience, is my quick-hit opinion.

I found this part to be a little cryptic:

Normal 0 false false false EN-AU X-NONE X-NONE 
MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable 
{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 
mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99;

But the number of times I wish people had my wife (world's meanest 
proofreader) checking their copy ...
