Wireless broadband provider Unwired said this morning it had activated three new towers in Melbourne to double its coverage area in the southern capital.
Unwired has increased its network coverage in Melbourne from the central business district to now cover over one million residents across the city, the wireless carrier announced.
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.
With Hurricane Gustav headed straight toward New Orleans, emergency officials and telecommunication companies are preparing for the worst.
Internet service provider Chariot has announced it is rolling out a wireless broadband network across Adelaide, with most areas of the city to be covered within two months.
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.

In his role as Telstra's chief executive, Sol Trujillo is the most talked about and controversial telecommunications executive in Australia. ZDNet.com.au sister site CNET News.com sat down with Trujillo during a recent trip to the US to quiz him about wireless and handsets.
Only two iPhones were on public display at Macworld but CNET.com.au's Jeremy Roche managed to get hold of one. Here's his verdict.
While the speed and pricing plans make it appealing for those who aren't deskbound, Unwired's Wireless Card is cruelled by the lack of true mobility and the Sydney-only coverage, which itself is undeniably patchy.
There's an abundance of wireless-capable devices and a growing number of networks to service them. How do you make your corporate e-mail available to staff when they're out of the office?
With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity. Just make sure you get it in black.
Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more.
