Broadband Applications

Wiliam Staff Team : Staff

A recent Sydney Morning Herald article reports that David Kirk, in launching Fairfax digital’s new Brisbane based on-line news service, brisbanetimes.com.au, issued a challenge to the telecommunications industry to make broadband more affordable and better performing.

Mr Kirk has further indicated at other venues that the current broadband market structure in Australia imposed strictures upon what could be achieved with broadband, and is being achieved in the US, Europe, and Asia.

With pressure and cautious commitments to e-Business development by such large advertising and media interests, the outlook for broadband applications in Australia may well be set to improve for all of us.
