New music store from Napster

Broadband users will now be able to access six million songs from online service Napster - without digital rights management, reports the BBC.
Napster previously offered unlimited access to music for a monthly subscription, although the tracks had digital locks on them to prevent sharing with other devices.
Boss of Napster Chris Gorog explained: "It is really the beginning of a level playing field, which I think is essential for Napster, but also for the health of the digital music business in general."

Customers could be overcharged, reports PlusNet

Broadband provider PlusNet has spoken about the issue of customers paying too much for their connection, which could be because they are not aware of their bandwidth usage.
Products and marketing director at the firm Neil Armstrong commented on the problem, explaining customers need to be made aware of which activities take-up too much bandwidth.
Mr Armstrong spoke about the penalities which could be incurred for exceeding bandwidth limits, saying: "This is different with each internet service provider. Some restrict the speeds on your account and make it unusable. Some charge several pounds per GB or even offer you a MAC key."
