Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Communications minister, senator Helen Coonan, has released the final guidelines for the Australian Government's $50 million Metropolitan Broadband Connect program.
"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. ISPs interested in registering with Metro Broadband Connect can contact the Department by email at
