South Australian internet service provider, Adam Internet, has turned on its first WiMax tower, an effort its chieftain Scott Hicks described as a "minor miracle".

South Australian internet service provider Adam Internet has won a contract to provide WiMax wireless broadband services to blackspot areas in Adelaide.
The government has committed to spending $53.2 million on its implementation study for the National Broadband Network.
The government's bill to tap into the $2.4 billion Communications Fund to help pay for the national broadband network was passed this morning after a divided opposition backed down from its blocking stance.
