Basslink Telecoms has received a carrier licence from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), and says its fibre-optic cable could be operational by the end of this year, but consumer action group Digital Tasmania is sceptical.
ISP Internode has signed on to buy Basslink services to Tasmania, despite the company acknowledging today that more problems had again delayed the date on which the fibre-optic cable from the mainland would become operational.
The Basslink undersea fibre-optic cable linking Tasmania to the mainland could become operational from early 2009, after a long-awaited agreement was inked today between the key stakeholders involved in the endeavour.
Telstra has used YouTube to post a vehement video denial that its backhaul prices have caused problems for internet service providers wanting to operate in Tasmania
Large internet service providers Internode and Netspace yesterday committed to ramp up offerings in Tasmania as soon as the Basslink fibre cable was switched on. But doubts remain about how likely this is to actually happen.
