EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

In breaking news, the web is abuzz with speculation that Microsoft is closing in on a deal to acquire Skype.

Today we also talk to Leighton Telecommunications about their latest venture to build a fibre-optic cable network between Australia and Asia, plus we feature a guest commentary from Tanveer Zia, lecturer at Charles Stuart University's School of Computing and Mathematics, about what impact the Sony Playstation data breach had on trust in online services.

Speaking of security, check out our sister site for IT security professionals, SC Magazine Australia, which re-launched today.

Also, stay tuned tonight for our coverage of the 2011 Federal Budget. Our analysts John Hilvert and David Havyatt will be reporting live from the lock-up at Parliament House.
