I published a Plus Edition article a few days ago entitled, "(+) How to Access Television Programs and Other Web Content from Other Countries and Simultaneously Foil Hackers." In the article, I described several technical solutions to appear as if your computer is located in some other country from where it really is. One solution is that of "VPN spoofing" by using a VPN (virtual private network). Now an Australian consumer advocacy group has urged Australians to do the same to beat high IT prices.
Australia is currently in the middle of parliamentary inquiry into the country's disproportionately high prices for technology. Choice also suggested setting up US iTunes accounts and using surrogate US addresses for forwarding packages from American stores. Choice has noted previously that Australians pay 52 per cent more for digital music downloads on iTunes compared to US users.
