TransACT chief executive Ivan Slavich told iTWire its investment in its 100Mbps fibre to the premises (FTTP) had been ongoing for two years, through its vendor partners Alcatel-Lucent and Corning. “TransACT has secured contracts for a significant number of new estates, and has already and will continue to rollout its FTTP network to thousands of new homes and apartment buildings across the ACT,” Slavic told iTWire. The company did not plan to bid for any of the network construction work currently being tendered through the Backhaul Blackspots program, and did not intend extending itself into a backhaul provider. But in the Canberra and Queanbeyan areas, where Transact services are available in about 90,000 premises, Slavic says the company wants to play a big role, first in the provision of infrastructure, and then as a service provider – including both advanced business services as well as consumer focused offerings like IPTV. “TransACT … will seek opportunities to play a significant role in assisting the Federal Government achieve its goals of enabling the visionary digital economy strategy,” Slavic told iTWire. |
