1.No live Ashes 2006 online anywhere (audio or video). Cricket Australia put an internet blackout on it.
Nor can you buy it from their official site. If you're in England or America and half of the world you can't buy it!

2.Itunes is years behind. They only recently put the Aussie store up because of territory arguments. This means there are no TV shows or movies on the Aussie store like there are on the American store.

It goes back to how late we were getting cable. When was it? Late 90s right?

It would all be fine if the Aussie government admitted to a techno-lag. But noooooo. My Dad heard a poli asked about it, and he was defending it saying "no I don't think we're behind".


At least they've got the cellphone situation worked out. None of the double billing that occurs in the USA!!!!
