Whirlpool.net.au about the survey The Australian Broadband Survey for 2005 was conducted over a four week period — from 29 December 2005 to 27 January 2006, during which the survey was successfully completed and verified a total of 16,590 times. As this was an open survey, we are extremely rigourous about maintaining the integrity of the data — to that end, sophisticated techniques were employed to detect and eliminate entries deemed to be duplicates or ballot stuffing. This final corpus used for analysis was reached after rejecting over 500 submissions for various reasons.

And as our lives become increasingly mediated by digital technologies, digital identities (both abstract and practical) take on a new dimension.
