Fibre optic to the home finally on the way?
It looks like we might finally start to see Fibre To The Home (FTTH) in the UK, looking at reports here. BT have got their way, and OFCOM will not regulate the wholesale price they charge competitors for access to their network. Depending on how the retail pricing turns out, this could be a problem. Competition obviously drives prices down, and this makes it a lot harder for the smaller ISPs to enter the market.

Just a quick round up of some interesting links from English Russia (a blog all about stuff that happens in Russia).
Russian Antarctic Station. Pictures from a Russian research station in the Antarctic, especially like the first picture with the light through the ice.
Miss Atomic. A beauty pageant featuring women from Russia's nuclear industries. Posing in front of a nuclear cooling pond and the like.
Georgian Electric Buses. Running off overhead powerlines, look like something out of Fallout 3 brought to life.
Soviet Russia in 1977. Strange to see how it's changed over the last 30 years.
