5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
"We are already known as the nation's telecommunications hub with over a third of Australia's ICT industry based in Victoria – including many companies set to play a critical role in the rollout of the National Broadband Network." The organisations Lenders was referring to presumably include Ericsson (which was behind Telstra's quick rollout of the Next G wireless network and is known to have an interest in FTTP rollouts) as well as Pacific Broadband Networks (a supplier of fibre optic transmission products that was explicitly mentioned by Lenders). He also cited some of Victoria's research institutions. "Centres such as the Photonics Research Laboratory at the University of Melbourne, the ARC Special Research Centre for Ultra-Broadband Information Networks (CUBIN) and the Victoria Research Laboratory of NICTA are world-leaders in optical fibre communications and fibre-to-the-home systems." Lenders' position was backed by Professor Rob Evans, Victorian Director of NICTA. Find out what Evans said on page two. |
