Checking your mobile data usage online is not easy

Isn't that incredible that Telecom New Zealand can charge my mobile data usage every month but it can't provide a simple way, other then calling their help desk every day, to follow my usage?They are able to put a $$$ amount in my monthly bill, but I can't find my usage in data terms (megabytes or gigabytes) anywhere on the invoice or on-line.They use a very cryptic "data calls" unit that means nothing to me.Telecom New Zealand makes it really hard for me to control my usage. And they charge dearly if I go over my limits.Vodafone is a bit better in this area, but their on-line meter is frequently outdated or incorrect according to discussions in our forums.In Australia the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission issued a warn to consumers regarding mobile data usage.What about here? TUANZ? Commerce Commission? Anyone awake and aware that we have overpriced data plans?

Andrew Cuomo Threatens To Sue Comcast If It Doesn't Sign Up For His Plan To Pretend To Fight Child Porn

Last month, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo made some news by pressuring a bunch of ISPs to agree to block certain sites in a totally misguided effort to fight child porn. It will actually do the opposite, because it merely hides the issue, driving it further underground, rather than attacking at the source. At the same time, it opens up a very questionable door: having ISPs blocking any content that they feel is "objectionable" in some manner. It's not hard to predict where this goes, in terms of ISPs blocking other types of content as well. Comcast was one of the companies that agreed last week to a similar proposal with a bunch of state attorneys general, but apparently that's not enough for Andrew Cuomo. He's now threatening to sue Comcast within five days if it doesn't sign the more stringent "code of conduct" that Cuomo wrote up. Apparently Cuomo doesn't think last week's agreement goes far enough. Of course, what's odd is that nowhere does Cuomo explain how Comcast
