...billion that Australia is spending on the NBN dwarfs the $7.2 billion earmarked in the U.S. stimulus package for broadband network construction. Budde says the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama is taking an "enormous interest" in the NBN initiative because it may hold lessons for America, where U.S. phone companies enjoy competitive advantages similar to Telstra's. "The warning signs are there for AT&T and Verizon," says Budde. "Things won't change overnight, but open networks are coming to America.

Boyishly handsome and educated abroad, Gandhi has made it his mission to bring more young people into positions of power. He has pledged to hold elections for the leadership of the Congress youth wing within two years, and pushed the party to field more candidates under 40 years old. Gandhi is the ultimate symbol of dynastic politics - the son, grandson and great-grandson of Prime Ministers - but he sees no contradiction in also trying...
