Tech news spot on ABC Radio

A new ID system for Australians. At a speech at the National Press Club today, Government Services Minister Bill Shorten announced the trial of a new way for us to identify ourselves that is more secure than things like our driver's license but will require a phone. Also, have you ever got to the checkout to find that the price is different to what it was on the shelf? Have you ever looked at a price online again and found it has changed? These are examples of "dynamic pricing". Plus, in recent years, particularly in rural Australia, a new internet provider has quietly been gaining market share and now they've grown significant enough to attract the attention of the ACCC. How big of a provider is Starlink today? Nightlife Tech Guru Peter Marks, a software developer and technology commentator from Access Informatics, joined Philip Clark on Nightlife to discuss the latest news in technology.   Listen here.

As an aside, I'm pretty happy now that my audio quality matches the studio quite well despite me joining the program from my home office.
