Country-Wide Internet
Australia is again trying to go on a country-wide broadband access plan which would unite the country and allow full access to the internet where ever you may be in the land down under. The government has refused many offers from private companies to develop and put the necessary infrastructure in place for the project is to be a national one. The costs are staggering but today’s world of WiFi and WiMax would surely allow more people internet access as well as less infrastructure to cover the whole country. The US is also on a move to do the same, taking internet access to rural America but these are plans that may have to wait, till the recession passes and people start spending and bringing in cash to businesses.
The move would indeed make a country very attractive for people and businesses alike for internet access in some parts of arid Australia is sometimes too inhospitable to install proper infrastructure and necessary hardware. Some areas are so remote they can only be reached by land through diversified terrain that would challenge the most decorated explorer.
