The consultation was kicked off at the start of 2020 as Australian enterprise telcos complained of NBN overbuilding existing networks. In an update posted last week, NBN after receiving quotes from six parties covering 31 sites as a proof of concept (PoC), and a mixture of fibre to the basement, fibre to the node, and fibre to the curb, said it was not impressed with any of them. “There is no evidence to suggest that an industry-wide procurement model for third party dark fibre connections to deliver wholesale enterprise services would be commercial or operationally feasible based on current NBN build costs, available third-party footprint, operational timelines and SLAs....

Last week, inaccurate reporting emerged in regards to Apple’s work on making its products accessible to all consumers. As many Apple customers are aware, and as CEO Tim Cook takes extremely seriously, Apple works hard to ensure that Macs, iPhones, iPods, and iPads can be used to their full extent by people who are deaf or blind, for example. In response to the reporting (Philip Elmer-DeWitt has a good summary of the original reporting and takedowns at Fortune), Mark A....

The NBA Game Time apps for iPhone and iPad were updated today with a new Class Games section that brings a collection of “carefully selected classic games and historical videos from past seasons.” The new Classic Games section starts out with a selection of videos and more will be added in future updates during the 2014 season.

Apple notified participants of its AppleSeed program today that OS X Mountain Lion beta build 12C35 is now available for download. The 671MB update contains no known issues, Apple stated. Furthermore, Apple would like developers to focus on messages, Facebook, Game Center, Safari and Reminders when testing the pre-release software. The release notes say “TDB,” which indicates this is not a final release. It is also worth noting this is not a release to members of Apple’s Developer Program, as that will presumably come later on....

As expected, new MacBooks Airs are going into production later this month for a June or July launch month. The news from Digitimes says that Apple’s updated ultra-thin notebooks will pack Sandy Bridge processors – that recently launched in the new MacBook Pros and iMacs – in addition to Apple and Intel’s new Thunderbolt I/O platform. Apple’s current line of MacBooks Airs include both 11.6 and 13.3 inch models. Because the current design was released late last year, we believe that the new models will simply be an internal specification upgrade and nothing more....

According to CFPB, the change is being made to keep up with new technology. What it means for us, though, is even more harassment over unpaid bills. Thankfully, an additional rule was added that limits the number of calls a debt collector can make to a consumer to seven times per week. Unfortunately, there’s no limit to the number of messages and emails they can send you. Here’s what you need to know about the newest amendments to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and what it means for you as a consumer....

Screenshot via Cameron Apple introduced a built-in Picture-In-Picture feature for iPads on iOS 9 a year ago and released it last fall. We’re getting deep into iOS 10 territory at this point, but some apps are still updating to support the latest features from the current version of iOS. Netflix delivered on that today with official support for PIP on iOS 9.3.2 or later. (The version number requirement may suggest that earlier versions didn’t support what Netflix would need, although iOS 10 beta seems to break it....

Today’s photos reveal the building’s newly-installed facade for the first time, which was previously covered by temporary sheeting during construction. Apple appears to have entirely replaced the building’s previous storefront, modern glass panels that strayed from the structure’s historic architecture. Apple’s new facade restores the building’s original appearance while maintaining an uncluttered design. The architecture is reminiscent of Apple’s Schildergasse location near Cologne, Germany. Also visible in today’s photos are decorative trees lining one side of the building, nested in planters not dissimilar to the ones Apple has been using in “Genius Groves” at other retail locations....
