"The program will make broadband Internet more accessible for households, small businesses and not-for-profit organisations in metropolitan and outer-metropolitan Australia that are unable to connect to affordable ADSL, cable or wireless services," Coonan said.
Metro Broadband Connect subsidises ISPs via either an upfront payment for infrastructure or by a per-customer subsidy to rollout affordable broadband.
Coonan said the guidelines had been prepared following extensive public consultation and she called for all interested ISPs to register with Metro Broadband Connect. A streamlined registration process may be available for ISPs already registered with the Broadband Connect program.
A provisional Metro Broadband Connect demand register has been opened to enable customers to identify broadband services available to them and indicate their interest in receiving a Metro Broadband Connect service.
The final program guidelines and provisional demand register can be accessed at http://www.dcita.gov.au/tel/mbc.
