I am forced to live in two<\/strong> parallel worlds. One world is served by an expensive and unreliable NBN where on the weekend in Canberra the speed was 18Mbps down \/ 23Mbps up. The other world is AI, where for free, I have access to Google\u2019s AI services and compete globally and largely unhindered during the pandemic.<\/p>\n So I don\u2019t believe that the ACCC digital platforms inquiry and the Senate Committee<\/a> hearings into the proposed News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code<\/a> is actually about the news.<\/p>\n The debacle unfolding is in reality a dangerous episode of a government and bureaucracy blind-sided by legacy industries and unprepared for the digital era that is upon us.<\/p>\n
