The South Australian government has confirmed carrier Internode has won a new AU$2.2 million contract to supply Internet access for the state's 70,000 public servants for the next three years.
Internode will deploy some AU$3.5 million of broadband infrastructure through rural South Australia in a new project responding to the needs of a regional group of local councils.
The South Australian government has named the six telcos which will be on its telecommunications services panel, singling out Telstra as the supplier of its mobile services for the next three years.
South Australian ISP Internode has set up a WiMax service to provide broadband access to the Yorke Peninsula region west of Adelaide, but not before its new infrastructure was almost built over.
update The construction of Internet service provider TPG Internet's ADSL2+ broadband network is behind schedule, the company revealed today.
Telstra's 21Mbps Next-G boost and Internode's new 100Mbps FttH networks may be both companies' show ponies, but when it comes to helping most of us, their need-for-speed posturing is just a box-and-dice distraction that we've all seen before.
South Australia's Yorke Peninsula with just 11,780 people spread across 5,834 square kilometres, is known more for its rugged natural beauty than its technological prowess. But now that Internode has brought broadband to the entire peninsula, the area has become a very important part of Australia's telegeography.
Will Internode's (sudden) and dramatic price hike for its broadband plans undo the G9's plans for an affordable, high-speed broadband network?
