Outback councils make broadband push

Remote councils in outback Queensland say they are prepared to spend millions of dollars to ensure their communities get the benefits of the National Broadband Network.

The first links in the network on mainland Australia are being built in north-west Queensland.

Barcoo Mayor Bruce Scott and Diamantina Mayor Robbie Dare have met the federal Communications Minister Stephen Conroy to discuss concerns about the network.

Councillor Scott says a plan has been developed to ensure fibre optic services reach their shires.

"We are in an area where the market fails," Cr Scott said.

"We are in an area where it is not commercially viable for telecommunications providers to extend their services.

"Senator Conroy is very receptive of our proposal, he has told us to go away and get some prices and come back and talk to him about how we can make this happen.

"We're looking support from the Queensland Government in this as well to make sure that our communities are not left out."

Nationals say NBN broadband plan inadequate

THE RUDD Government's broadband plan will still bypass towns and villages of less than 1000 people in the New England area, according to The Nationals Duty Senator for the electorate, John Williams.

Sen Williams said he has identified 14 localities in New England including Ashford, Moonbi and Bundarra that will not receive the much-trumpeted high speed broadband, yet towns like Mt.Isa which is ‘already well served by broadband will get the new service’.

“In the meantime Attunga, Gilgai, Tingha and Deepwater have been waiting for more than two years for Labor to make good on its election promises,” he said.

"The so-called National Broadband Network is an uncosted $43 billion plan that is seemingly going nowhere and being run by a Minister, Senator Stephen Conroy, who is trying to deflect criticism of other issues in his portfolio.

“By admitting it will only reach 90 percent of the population, the Rudd Government is neglecting residents in Bendemeer, Delungra, Nundle and Emmaville and telling them there is no equity of service.

“In fact, given that the network will take eight years to build there is every likelihood larger towns and cities like Tamworth, Armidale and Inverell will be at the end of the list.”

New Fibre Optic Broadband

Australia to benefit from the laying of new fibre optic backbone links
February 23rd, 2010 by Jo

The laying of new fibre optic backbone links along 6000 kilometers of land across Australia could see many families living in rural blackspot areas throughout the country able to access high-speed broadband internet services.

One of the main goals of the National Broadband Network is to provide high-speed broadband access to the majority of the Australian population and in order to do this it is beginning to build on the country’s existing broadband backbone network. This new fibre optic backbone project will see a number of underserved and unserved areas of the country gaining access to the high-speed broadband connection that most users in the metropolitan parts of the country already have.

The laying of the new fibre optic backbone is one of the projects that will be carried out for the Federal governments National Broadband Network and will receive around $250 million in funding.

Thousands of users that live along five separate routes that will run through the Australia’s Northern Territory and Queensland areas will gain access to super-fast broadband services as part of the development known as the Regional Backbone Blackspot Program.

Stephen Carter, the Communications minister said “Backbone infrastructure provides the communication links that connect our towns, cities and rural areas to each other and the world. One of the biggest obstacles for fast broadband in Mount Isa has been the lack of competitive fibre optic backbone services.”

The construction of this new fibre optic backbone is expected to take around 18 months and of the five new routes that will have fibre optic broadband cabling laid down Mount Isa is at the centre of the one of the longest stretches of cable that will run from Toowoomba and Darwin.

Opinion: That’s T[life]

It seems that every vendor has to have its own store these days.
Despite the hoopla surrounding Apple’s new glass-fronted mega-shop in Sydney, the same architect who designed Apple’s New York retail therapy clinic was responsible for the Telstra T[life] shop just across the road, which opened last November. This week Telstra has opened another T[life] shop down in Melbourne. According to the telco, the shops are just what customers have been demanding, and are designed to give you a hands-on preview of exactly what life will be like with one of their phones. Oh really? Sure, they have sections for [my]business and [my]place and even [my]network to entice punters with the possibilities of perfection in phones. But is this reality? There are several departments missing from this store. First off, where is the [my]rural section? That’s where you can’t get a signal no matter what you do, but there would be ladders and ledges for you to climb on while you try and get connected, and several people trapped under a tractor.Another desperately needed department is [my]invoice. This would let customers know what it’s likely to cost them when they choose to sign on the dotted line, and how many body parts they’ll need to sell in order to pay the outrageous bill. Right alongside would be [my]callcentre. In this department, nobody would speak the same language as you do, and this would be truly global. If you happened to only speak Urdu then you’d be connected with English-speaking call centre staff instead.In the far corner of the store would be [my]technicians. Parked there would be a T[life] van, with several techs eating sandwiches, having a smoke and talking to their mates on their company-provided mobile phones. If you go over and ask them for assistance they’ll ask you to call [my]callcentre first to make an appointment. Then they’ll return to eating, smoking and chatting amongst themselves. Alongside them would be [my]backhoe with a tangle of fibre-optic cables drooling from its bucket.Nobody in the shop would be able to help you with your questions, but an army of annoying drones would [my]phone you at random to offer you things you don’t want or need. You’d also get [my]SMS messages inviting you to participate in fabulous giveaway contests for tickets to last year’s grand finals. Now that’s what I call a reality T[life] store.

Commander forced to keep Affinity IT Recruitment subsidiary

Embattled Australian service provider, Commander Communications, has been forced to take its Affinity IT Recruitment subsidiary and internal recruitment services off the sales table.
Commander has previously announced its intention to sell the Affinity division, but after extensive discussions with external parties, the service provider wasn’t able to conclude a suitable deal for the Affinity, said Commander’s managing director Amanda Lacaze.“When we identified the ‘Turnaround Plan’ for Commander we identified Affinity as a subsidiary that was not core to our strategy,” she said. “We are disappointed that we were unable to conclude an external sale of the Affinity IT Recruitment business and therefore have taken the decision to close down operations,” she said. According to Lacaze, a full review of Affinity’s operations has been completed and management now believes it can be cost effectively managed within Commander’s internal HR division, rather than a separately run division.“Commander will no longer seek to divest the Affinity business as an ongoing operation. Instead, certain recruitment professionals from Affinity will be appointed to new roles within Commander,” she said.Affinity IT Recruitment will no longer provide services to external clients. However all current candidate selections will be finalised and Affinity will manage its existing contractor base until the expiry of the contracts, said Lacaze.However 15 employees, mainly from the sales and administration division, will be retrenched, due to these changes and consequent reduction in overheads, said Lacaze.

Telstra consumer marketing and channels group managing director, David Moffatt, said the new T [life] store in Melbourne followed on from the success of the Sydney store. “The Melbourne store is equivalent in size to seven tennis courts and brings to life what's possible, showcasing the present and the future. It also has two levels that encompass a dedicated area for business customers called [my]business and [my]place – which offers free advice; and [my]networked home where customers can see for themselves how to connect at home and while on the move," Moffatt said.According to Moffatt the store also features an interactive zone to explore and play with over 100 live and working devices, technology where customers can interact with future products and a TelePresence meeting room for face-to-face state of the art video conferencing.
