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 named 36 companies able to offer broadband connections in rural, regional and remote Australia under the Government’s $878 million Broadband Connect program.
Broadband Connect continues the HiBIS scheme that provided subsidised broadband access for more than 700,000 households. However, it has eight times the amount of funding HiBIS received and, according to Coonan, "represents a greater opportunity to deliver sustainable broadband solutions, more room for innovation, and more scope to explore the growing range of new and existing broadband technologies.
The second stage of Broadband Connect will take effect from 1 July 2006 following consideration of responses to a public discussion paper released last year on both the $878 million Broadband Connect program and the $113 million Clever Networks program.
