The Federal Government has welcomed a AU$10 million investment into regional broadband by Telstra, saying it addressed a number of concerns raised by a recent inquiry into telecommunications services to rural and regional Australia.
In this Australian exclusive, ZDNet asked the country's major political parties to outline their IT strategies in the lead-up to the 2001 Federal Election, answering the questions of readers on a myriad of technology-related issues.
Pundits from across the IT industry in Australia have defended the more legitimate uses of the broadband in the wake of comments made by Senator Richard Alston on the ABC's Inside Business program.
Former Communications Minister Richard Alston writes that it is critically important to reinvigorate the competitive process in Australia's telecommunications industry with the National Broadband Network and not simply replace one behemoth with another.
