Australia's favourite Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and his state and territory counterparts (plus a local government representative) have put their heads together and come up with a motherhood statement on broadband.
Australia's Online and Communications Council met today and issued an absolutely stunning document entitled Framework for the collaborative development of broadband in Australia.
Here's the summary version:
"Council agreed the following priority areas, objectives and strategies for collaborative action:
· Broadband availability - all Australians have access to high-speed broadband at equitable service levels and prices.
· Broadband take-up - Australians are fully aware of the benefits of high-speed broadband, and are able to choose a broadband service that meets their needs.
· Broadband usage - Australians use high-speed broadband to improve economic, environmental and social wellbeing."
