Tech giant IBM has said it favours changes to section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to make Internet companies accountable for content that their users post on their platforms.

The vital importance of an online presence in today’s business landscape was driven home in 2018, with jobs aimed at developing, populating, promoting and marketing websites among the fastest growing areas of online work last year, according to a newly published report on the job market.

The amount of data Australians are consuming has gone through the roof, rising by 43% in the past year, according to a new report tabled in Parliament today. We’re also using a more diverse range of devices, although the mobile phone is still the most popular and frequently used way to go online.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority has again issued a warning about the problems and pitfalls faced by mobile users being charged for buying digital content when they may actually be unaware of their purchases.

Almost 9 out of 10 Australian adults are now online, fuelling a growing appetite for digital content and driving significant changes across the communications sector, according to a new report from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

Australians have devoured online content to the tune of 13 billion hours a year, while users of the National Broadband Network (nbn) have been consuming around 35% more data than the average Australian household.

Optus says a new collaboration deal with communications solutions provider Level 3 enables it to deliver its Australian customers online video and streaming services more reliably, faster and of higher quality.

Nine Entertainment chief executive David Gyngell has admitted that he's 'rooting for Rupert' and hoping that the creation of a paywall on News Ltd's online content will prove a workable model. 'If it does come off it's good for me,' he said.
